Festivals in Meghalaya
3 festivals across Meghalaya — organized by month
November
Wangala (100 Drums Festival)
Tura
100 drums played simultaneously as the Garo tribe celebrates the post-harvest season. Horn-blowing, mass tribal dance, and a rhythm that shakes the hills.
Nongkrem Dance
Shillong
The most important Khasi festival — men in feathered headdresses and swords, women draped in gold silk, goat sacrifice, and five days of thanksgiving to the goddess Ka Blei Synshar.
Cherry Blossom Festival
Shillong
India's only cherry blossom festival — Shillong's streets turn pink as Prunus cerasoides bloom. Live music, photography walks, food stalls, and a Japan-like aesthetic in the hills.
