Family Day / Independence Day 2026
Independence Day 2026 was a celebration filled with pride, togetherness, music, and plenty of festive cheer. The day brought everyone together to mark the spirit of freedom and patriotism, while also enjoying an evening of laughter, entertainment, great food, and wonderful company.
The celebrations were made even more special with the support of Diageo and United Breweries Ltd., whose contribution helped make the occasion a memorable one for everyone. The evening brought together all the ingredients of a wonderful celebration — enthusiastic participation, lively entertainment, great music, and the unmistakable spirit of togetherness.
Keeping the celebrations lively throughout the evening were our energetic emcees, Jake Texeira and Johnathan Smith. Their infectious enthusiasm, humour, and interaction with the crowd ensured that the celebrations remained engaging and entertaining from start to finish.
The cafeteria team added to the festive spirit with a delicious spread that was enjoyed by everyone. Their efforts brought an added touch of warmth to the occasion, giving friends and families the perfect opportunity to come together over good food and conversation.
As the evening progressed, the stage came alive with an exciting musical line-up. DJ Neil took charge of the decks and had the crowd moving with an energetic mix of music that set the perfect mood for the celebrations. The evening continued with performances by two much-loved Goan bands, True Blue and A26, who brought their distinctive sound and infectious energy to the stage. Their performances had the crowd singing along, tapping their feet, and taking to the dance floor.
A special mention and heartfelt thanks to Sam Texeira, MIC Bar, whose thoughtful efforts added an extra touch of cheer to the celebrations. His contribution helped make the evening even more enjoyable and added to the warm and convivial atmosphere of the occasion.
With friends and families coming together, the evening was a wonderful celebration of community and camaraderie. From the delicious food and lively entertainment to the music and enthusiastic participation, every element added to the spirit of Independence Day.
A special thank you to Diageo and United Breweries Ltd. for being a valued part of the celebrations and for helping create an evening filled with memorable moments.
As the music played on and the celebrations continued late into the evening, the spirit of Independence was felt not only in the patriotic moments, but also in the joy of coming together as a community.
