Ingo’s Saturday Night Bazaar is a feast – and everyone is invited. The fun spot with no cover charge, Ingo’s has established itself as a must-visit spot on the Goa landscape.

The moment you reach the vicinity, you can feel the pulse of the place. As you inch closer to Ingos, your car slows down to a snails pace. The parking lot with bikes glistening in the moonlight makes for an amazing backdrop, with bikes ranging from vintage classics, to zippy small things, to world war relics that still move.

As you step into the bazaar, its like platform 9 and three quarters revisited – you have entered a completely different world invisible to the outside world. You have stepped into a shopping extravaganza with food, sights and entertainment from all over the world.

Ingo’s is teeming with enthusiastic shoppers. The products on display range from trance CDs and unbelievable earrings to G-strings, nine-yard sarees, paintings, handmade artefacts and even Sitars. Local artisans from Goa and other parts of India mix with the foreigners trying to sell their products to the continuous stream of shoppers. Tatoo artists skilfully leave their mark on sweating bodies of all shapes, while masseurs gently iron away your stresses.

The range of authentic international fare caters to people from all parts of the world. An Italian shows off his mastery with Pizzas, while another food stall dishes out Tibetian Momos, Japanese Sushi, Punjabi Tikka or Mumbai Pav Bhaji. The mouth-watering extravaganza is the best of the world’s cuisine packed in a bazaar.

The performance stage has fire-eaters, jugglers, live bands, dancers, fashion shows and artists performing to an energetic audience under the starry skies. The performers come in from all parts of the world, adding to the festivity of Ingo’s. The applauding crowd has its share of teenagers and retirees dressed in skimpy nothings to salwar kurtas and even the occasional business suit.

Ingo’s comes alive in the evenings, and is rocking till late into the night. It is at Arpora, not too far north of the famed Calangute - Baga stretch of beaches in Goa. Goa is famous for its mix of Indian-Portuguese cultures, friendly people, wonderful churches and temples, sunny beaches and lush greenery.
