This festival is marked by young men in Goa jumping into wells to retrieve the gifts thrown in by the villagers. Held at the beginning of the monsoon season in Goa on the 24th of June<\/strong>, it witnesses people of all ages jumping into wells, ponds and streams.<\/p>\n

Colorful boat races are organized in Soilom, a village in North Goa\u2019s Bardez taluka. However, the festival of Sao Joao is not celebrated with the same enthusiasm over all of Goa.
