The vision behind Brezelfest

Three businesswomen from South Goa—baker Andrea Thumshirn, artist Ragini Dhingra, and gardener Yogita Mehra—are the brains behind Brezelfest. They envisioned a festival that would offer a distinctive German flavour to Goa's lively atmosphere while bridging cultures via food, music, and art. Their partnership ensures that Brezelfest becomes a yearly favourite for both residents and visitors, celebrating both cultures.
