Goa  has  always  been  known  for  its  Â‘HappeningÂ’  culture.  Nightlife  of  Goa  is  a  major  attraction  for  the  tourists.  The  beaches  are  a  hotspot  for  organising  parties.  Alternatively,  hotels,  pubs,  bars  and  casinos  are  also  a  party  spot.  Party  culture  in  Goa  is  supposed  to  be  started  by  the  Hippies  during  there  visit  to  Goa  in  1960s.  They  found  the  beaches  of  Goa  perfect  for  resting  in  solitude.  Nights  on  these  beaches  under  the  moon  along  with  water  on  one  side  prompted  them  to  party  during  night  time.  Since  then,  Goa  has  come  a  long  way  in  terms  of  the  manner  of  the  party.  Earlier  parties  were  organised  on  festivals,  get  togethers  and  at  celebration  times.  Now  a  days  parties  have  become  a  sort  of  compulsions  on  the  beaches  of  Goa.  Tourists  and  locals  need  no  excuse  for  a  party  and  music  &  dance  go  on  for  whole  night.
Goa  Rave  Parties

The  Rave  parties  of  Goa  are  also  said  to  be  started  by  the  Hippies.  One  of  the  main  form  of  entertainment  of  the  tourists,  the  Rave  parties  are  gaining  more  and  more  popularity  every  passing  year.  Earlier  Rave  parties  meant  Loud  music,  Boozing,  and  Addictive  Drugs  abuse.  The  hippies  had  a  kind  of  life  style  which  required  alcohol,  drugs  and  other  illegal  consumable  items.  Slowly  the  craze  of  these  kind  of  parties  started  building  up  in  the  youths  and  the  visitors  of  Goa.  Later  on,  with  government  interventions  and  regulatary  norms,  Drug  abuse  came  down  as  these  were  declared  illegal  by  law.  In  the  current  scenario,  Rave  parties  in  Goa  mean  Â‘Goa  Trance  musicÂ’,  Dance,  Live  bands,  great  food  and  occasional  boozing.  The  local  music  bands  of  Goa  have  developed  a  unique  style  of  music,  which  is  refered  to  as  Â‘Goa  TranceÂ’.  The  Rave  parties  of  Goa  are  also  refered  as  Trance  parties.

The  growing  drug  abuse  in  these  Rave  parties  faced  heavy  oppositions  by  the  government  officials,  environmentalists  and  the  local  media.  Since  last  few  years,  they  have  joined  hands  over  the  drug  abuse  issue  and  to  put  a  stop  to  the  easy  availibility  of  these  drugs.  Now  itÂ’s  only  during  Christmas  and  New  Year  that  one  can  be  guaranteed  an  organised  rave  on  a  scale  to  match  Ibiza,  Thailand  or  Miami.  For  the  rest  of  year  normal  dance  and  music  Trance  parties  go  on.
