Clubs, beach parties and live music — and the rules that keep the night fun.
Goa's nightlife is centred on Baga and Calangute (Tito's Lane), Anjuna and Vagator (hilltop and beach venues) and Arpora (Saturday night market). Peak season is December–January. Music in open areas usually stops at 10 pm by law, so big nights move indoors.
