Casa Bacardí’s Tropical debut in Goa

Casa Bacardí debuted its first-ever Tropical Edition in Goa on February 7–8, transforming West Goa into a vibrant Caribbean-inspired playground of music, culture and community. Designed as a high-energy yet immersive experience, the two day festival unfolded across three stages,  Treehouse, Rockpool and Cave, hosting sold-out performances from sundown to late night.

The line-up featured global and Indian acts including Artbat, Da Capo, Sistek, Kilimanjaro, Lifafa, TechPanda x Kenzani, Anyasa and Onfaya, with Afrobeat and Afro-inspired electronic sounds emerging as a defining musical thread for new-age audiences.

Reflecting on the experience, Goodies Narayanan, Marketing Director - India, Bacardi, said, “Casa Bacardí in Goa truly brought our philosophy of ‘Do What Moves You’ to life. While we have consistently pioneered large-scale cultural experiences in India, this edition was about evolving with our consumers, moving beyond scale to create deeper, more meaningful cultural connections. Seeing communities come together so organically through music, movement and shared energy with our first-ever Tropical edition was truly inspiring. This is the Caribbean spirit of Bacardí at work, and we are excited to take this momentum to new destinations and social spaces across the country.”

Beyond music, the festival offered participatory experiences such as mixology sessions, Afro Kizomba workshops, drum circles and interactive art zones. International bar takeovers by Tropic City, Havana Social and Junglebird, alongside Goa’s favourites like Pablo’s and Boilermaker, elevated the beverage experience with signature Bacardí cocktails becoming crowd favourites.

A collaboration with Crepdog Crew further amplified the event’s style quotient, celebrating fearless individuality through streetwear and self-expression.
