The Marwar Festival is one of Rajasthan’s most vibrant celebrations of heritage, valor, and tradition. Held annually in Jodhpur, this festival revives the cultural spirit of Marwar through mesmerizing folk performances, traditional competitions, camel safaris, and desert experiences.
In 2025, the festival will be celebrated on 6th and 7th October — coinciding with the full moon of Ashwin / Sharad Purnima — across multiple heritage venues in and around the city. The two-day event offers an unforgettable mix of Rajasthani culture, local cuisine, crafts, and musical evenings that bring the desert to life.
