Waves, the annual cultural fest hosted by BITS Pilani Goa is to be hosted from 26th Oct to 28th Oct . With a footfall of over 45,000 every year, it is one of the largest cultural fest in India. Every October, for 3 days, one is mesmerized by all the nights and fun-filled events and activities that take place all day and all night long. This year, the Waves 2018 theme has acknowledged that magic comes in two shades and beckons you to Embrace the Shadows. Should you not be already convinced, here are some pretty big reasons why you should be keeping your calendar free from 26 to 28 October.

Professional Nights aka Pro-Nights

As the night approaches, all events take a break, for it is time for the most awaited Waves Nights! Be it English Night, Hindi Night or EDM Night, the adrenaline rush is always high. Every year, well-known artists and performers, like DJ Miranda and Vishal &Shekhar, grace the stage and cast a spell over everyone. Dancing to the beats and the rhythm will certainly take you away from this world to a different one!

Versatile Events

The Pro-Nights aren’t the only thing to look forward to. There are many different events scattered all day long (and sometimes, nights too!) catering to various genres. Searock, a war between bands, InVerse, poetry slam event, Natyanjali, Show Me The Funny are just to name a few. While some of the events’ prelims take place before the fest, in different regions, some of them take place wholly during this 3-day period.

Food

No event is complete without food, and Waves offers enough to satisfy even the most hardcore gluttons. Food trucks set up around campus from Day One, with a variety of delectable treats that will fill you up without emptying your wallet. Compete in the hog-a-thon competition if you think you can eat incredible amounts of food!

Celebrities

In the past, Waves has had performances from celebrities like Nucleya, Amit Trivedi, Priyanka Chopra, KalkiKoechlin as well as bands like Indian Ocean, Parikrama, Blackstratblues and many more. Head over to Waves for a once in a lifetime opportunity to see them up close in their element.

Creative Works

Whether you’re an avid party-goer or a quiet introvert, Waves makes sure there’s an event for you. With literary events, paintings and craft completions, trivia quizzes, a renowned debate tournament, dance competitions, music performances, and stellar nights, what is there to not like?
