Jodhpur Rajasthan International Folk Festival (RIFF 2012)

Started in 2007, the Jodhpur Rajasthan International Folk Festival (RIFF) brings together more than 300 Musicians and performing artists from across Rajasthan and around the world to celebrate their musical heritage and create new sounds through innovative collaborations, for five days in October each year.

Timed to coincide with the brightest full moon of the year in north India, Sharad Poornima, Jodhpur RIFF features a series of spectacular concerts and events based in and around Mehrangarh Fort - voted “Asia’s Best Fortress” by Times Magazine.

The festival takes place from 26th – 30th October 2012 and the online booking for passes is open.

Jodhpur RIFF includes performances by master musicians from local Rajasthan communities, sensational headline acts showcased each night on the Main Stage, and global dance grooves that will keep the party going late into the night at Club Mehran. Interactive daytime sessions for visitors, school children and families are planned to stage against the backdrop of Fort.
