December–February, when the Biennale and Cochin Carnival overlap the dry season, plus Onam in August–September.
The Kochi-Muziris Biennale is the anchor and the largest art exhibition in the country — the 2025–26 edition ran 12 December to 31 March, with the central shows at Aspinwall House, Pepper House and Anand Warehouse and more than a dozen historic venues across Fort Kochi and Mattancherry, plus talks, screenings and workshops around them. Cochin Carnival takes the last week of December in Fort Kochi. On campus it is CUSAT’s Dhwani, and Infopark supplies a weekday tech-meetup audience that no other Kerala city has at that density.
Vihaya Events is not affiliated with these events — they are listed to show the kind of programming Kochi supports.
