Festember: A Cultural Festival

The highly anticipated cultural festival, Festember, returns to the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, from the 26th to the 29th of September, under the theme “Deccan Odyssey”. This year promises an exhilarating lineup of events to captivate hearts and minds, drawing students nationwide. Festember 2024 will showcase diverse activities, including electrifying pro-shows, captivating events, thought-provoking workshops, and inspiring guest lectures from renowned artists and industry leaders. 

Festember has earned its reputation as one of India’s most celebrated cultural festivals, and this year’s edition aims to elevate that legacy. With an impressive annual footfall of 18000 students from 500 different colleges, the festival is not only a platform for showcasing talent but also an opportunity for students to network with friends and escape the daily monotony of academics. 

Over the years, Festember has stunned the crowd with its amazing line-up of artists. Be it grooving to the tunes of Benny Dayal and Amit Trivedi, or listening enraptured to the melodious Shakthishree Gopalan and Neeti Mohan, the pro-shows of Festember have never failed to hit the mark, and this year is going to be no exception. 

The popular guest lecture series of Festember has had the honour of hosting eminent personalities in the past such as award-winning playback singer Sid Sriram, celebrated cricketer Jonty Rhodes and chess grandmaster Vishwanathan Anand. There is no doubt that the guest lectures will ignite and inspire the audience this year too, as it has every year. 

Festember offers a wide-ranging variety of events and workshops each year, split into various clusters that continue to be a star attraction for the multitude of participants. Innovative events continue to be launched each year, while the standard flagship events such as the fan-favorite dance competition Choreonite also thrive under the wings of Festember. Every year, 5 to 6 workshops are also conducted on topics ranging from areas as diverse as Fencing to Glassblowing. 

With each edition, Festember continues to elevate its reputation as one of the country’s premier cultural festivals, and this year’s iteration is expected to be no exception. As preparations reach their final stages, the stage is set for a truly memorable experience that will leave a lasting impact on all those who attend.
