The Ziro Festival is a renowned annual music and cultural event held in the scenic Ziro Valley of Arunachal Pradesh, India. Launched in 2012, the festival has gained widespread recognition for its unique blend of music, culture, and sustainability. It typically takes place over four days in late September, drawing attendees from across the country and beyond.
The Ziro Festival is particularly celebrated for its focus on independent music, featuring a diverse lineup of artists from India and around the world, including both established and emerging musicians. The event also emphasizes environmental consciousness, with the festival infrastructure being constructed from locally sourced, eco-friendly materials like bamboo and wood. Local artisans, particularly from the Apatani tribe, play a significant role in creating the festival setup, which is designed to leave minimal impact on the environment. Practices such as a zero-plastic policy, composting, and the use of biodegradable materials for food and drink services are central to the festival’s sustainability ethos.
Beyond music, the Ziro Festival also highlights the rich cultural heritage of the region, providing a platform for the indigenous tribes of Northeast India to showcase their traditions, crafts, and cuisine. The festival is often seen as a celebration of community, culture, and creativity, making it a unique and enriching experience for all who attend​ (ZIRO Festival)​ (Festivals From India)​ (The New Indian Express).
