If you’re wondering who’s the heart behind Silver Fest Goa - It’s our Silvers—the doers, makers, musicians, storytellers, and dreamers who refuse to fade into the background, no matter what their age. It’s also families who want their parents to find community, and friends of all ages who believe joy multiplies when shared.

We’re The Silver Surfers Club. We create belonging through community meetups, curiosity through workshops, and confidence through travel and cultural experiences. Goa felt like home the moment we walked in—the warmth, the inclusivity, the celebration of life at every age.

Why Goa?
Because Goa already lives what we believe. Here, joy is everyday, music spills into evenings, art sits at café tables, and age is just…a vibe. People smile at strangers. Stories travel from one table to the next. The sea slows you down just enough to notice what matters—community, creativity, and play. It’s the perfect place to celebrate the spirit of being Silver & Bold.

The Silver Fest, Goa is our love letter to that spirit—a three-day gathering where seniors (and the young-at-heart) come together for music, talks, workshops, dance, and a bustling Silver Bazaar. It’s for anyone who wants to keep learning, keep moving, keep laughing—and be seen.

We’re here to build roots in Goa: regular meetups, culture walks, screenings, skill-shares, volunteer circles—the little rituals that turn a place into a community.

If this sounds like you—or someone you love—come join us. Bring your parents, bring your friends, bring your dancing shoes. Let’s and celebrate the good life, together.

Come say hello at the and together.

Meet Yvonne Gonsalves—a beloved voice of Goa’s jazz scene whose mantra might as well be: music is my life. When Yvonne steps up to the mic, the room lifts—young and silver, everyone finds themselves swaying, smiling, and singing along.

Yvonne carries a rich musical legacy. She’s the daughter of Goan jazz great Chic Chocolate, and the longtime musical partner (and wife) of saxophone legend Braz Gonsalves. She has fronted bands across India, scatting through jazz standards and Latin/funk grooves, represented India at Jazz Yatra, and—true to Goan tradition—still lights up local stages like Cantare, Saligao (yes, those famed Monday nights!). Recently, she’s been onstage with the Braz Gonsalves Quintet, keeping Goa’s jazz heartbeat gloriously alive.

At The Silver Fest Goa, Yvonne joins our Tea Time Talks with Trailblazers to share her “secret to happiness”—what keeps her spirited, steady, and singing. And that evening, she’s back with us for a fabulous jazz night. Bring your dancing shoes and a big smile—let’s give her all the love she’s given audiences for decades.

Here’s a cheeky poem we thought you might like. Does it resonate with you? 🙌🏼

Thank you ._pandit for sharing this with us!

One conversation with her and we hit it off instantly!

The lovely Heta Pandit—writer, heritage activist, and co-founder of the Goa Heritage Action Group—has spent decades bringing Goa’s stories to life in books like Houses of Goa and In & Around Old Goa and more. If you live here and don’t own one yet… it’s time. 🙂

But today is about the poem she shared with us. A fun, cheeky piece about respect, grey hair, laughter lines, and some family members who keep us honest. It hit home for us; we hope you enjoy it too!

Swipe, save it, and share it with your favorite people who will get it!

And block your dates for to meet Heta—and many more wonderful humans—at Silver Fest Goa.

Meet Derrick Menezes—Goa’s wind-whisperer. One conversation and you feel braver: the sea seems friendlier, the wind less mysterious, and that little voice that says “why not?” gets louder. He’s a kitesurfer, a champion windsurfer, and a teacher who makes you believe you can fly a kite and your courage—both.

Over four decades on the water, Derrick has become one of Goa’s most respected water-sports athletes and mentors—national windsurfing champion, India rep, and a coach who’s helped shape the state’s sailing and kiteboarding scene. He even completed formal watersports training with the Royal Yachting Association (UK)—among the early Indians to do so—before dedicating himself to building the sport back home.

He still loves the thrill of competition—recently leading in the twin-tip racing category at the YAI National Kiteboarding & Windsurfing Championship in Morjim—and remains a formidable contender at national events. But if you ask him what matters most, he’ll tell you it isn’t medals; it’s how you pass the craft on. That mentor’s heart shows up on beaches and boatyards across Goa, where he’s taught kids, beginners, and seasoned sailors to read tides and winds—and to respect both. (He’ll also happily geek out about why Goa’s weather makes it a great classroom for sailing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing.)

At The Silver Fest Goa, Derrick joins our Tea Time Talks with Trailblazers to share what the ocean has taught him about happiness: play, presence, and getting back up every time you fall in. Expect stories, simple practices, and a contagious love for movement and the outdoors.

Bring your questions—and maybe that long-postponed dream of trying something new.

How the Silver Bazaar was born 💜

Back in 2014, Shobha Narain—then in her mid-60s was happiest where the spices sang - in her kitchen.

Mother, grandmother, lifelong homemake and the gentlest dreamer, she’d giggle and say, “One day I’ll have my own cooking show,” or “Maybe I’ll publish my recipes.” Her sauces, dips, and pickles? Liquid gold, passed around with love.

We still remember the sparkle in her eye when we asked, “What if we bottled this magic?” She didn’t even pause to say “Let’s do this!”

That “yes” became The Silver Bazaar—a warm, welcoming space for anyone 50, 60, 70, 80+ to bring long-held dreams to the table. A place where passion finds purpose… and sometimes, a little profit too. Mostly, it’s about courage, community, and the joy of being seen.

If you—or someone you love—is quietly creating beauty at home (baking, brewing, stitching, painting, pickling), we’d love to cheer you on at our at .

One chat with and you’re hooked - her warmth, zingy energy, and carefree spirit are downright contagious. We spent an afternoon with her and had an absolute blast (don’t miss the rapid-fire clip below!).

Ruchi is a hairstylist and hair colourist at Shine Hair Studio, Vagator. If your strands are turning silver and you’re wondering whether to blend, brighten or proudly flaunt them, she’s your go-to. She specialises in grey-blending and healthy, lived-in colour - and she rocks her own funky silver like a star. ✂️

When she’s not transforming hair, you’ll spot her in a quiet corner at Shine, brush in hand, painting - because art is her happy place. 🎨

And at The Silver Fest, Ruchi’s bringing that love for craft to a hands-on Origami Tealights Workshop. Learn to fold simple sheets into beautiful, glowing tea lights - perfect for cosy corners and festive décor. Origami isn’t just pretty; it’s mindful and skill-building: it sharpens fine motor skills, improves focus and spatial awareness, eases stress with its soothing rhythm, and sparks everyday creativity. 🕯️



Come say hello, learn a new craft, and leave with something you made - heart and hands together.

People of The Silver Fest ✨

One conversation with Dr. Subodh Kerkar and you feel lighter. He has that rare mix of curiosity, humour, and ocean-deep calm that makes you want to sit a little longer and listen a little closer.

An artist, educator, and the founding director of the Museum of Goa (MOG), Subodh once traded a stethoscope for a sketchbook and never looked back—building a life where art, ideas, and community meet. His practice is rooted in Goa and guided by the sea, which he often calls both his master and his muse.

At The Silver Fest, Dr. Kerkar is hosting a heartwarming talk: “The Secret of Happiness.” Expect stories and simple, usable ideas—finding wonder in the everyday, choosing curiosity over comfort, the joy of making with your hands, letting nature reset your rhythm, giving more than you take, and belonging to something bigger than yourself. Think gentle shifts, tiny daily practices, and a reminder that meaning—not metrics—is where joy lives.

Come for the warmth, stay for the wisdom, and leave with a few pocket-sized habits for a happier life along with a few new friends!
