The third edition of the Goa Vintage Cars and Bikes Festival will be held on April 14, 2019. The event, organised by Goa Tourism, will be held in Panjim and will have participants coming in from Mumbai and even Bengaluru to be part of this celebration of classic automobilia. With over 80 cars and 50 bikes expected to make it to the rally, the Vintage Cars and Bikes Festival will be a major draw for tourists who come to Goa for its great food, beaches and relaxed atmosphere. Goa has been an epicentre of car culture in the past as its status as a Portuguese colony allowed import of cars from different parts of the world.

The rally will be flagged off at the Inox Courtyard in Panjim and will run a 7km route along the iconic Mandovi river, going all the way to Miramar Circle before looping back to the start point.
