January for the Literature Festival and February–March for Ragam.
The Kerala Literature Festival owns January — 22 to 25 in 2026, on the beach, free to attend, with 600-plus speakers from more than fifteen countries across some 300 sessions. NIT Calicut runs the other half of the year: Ragam, South India’s largest student-run cultural festival, over three days at the end of March (27 to 29 in 2026), and Tathva as the techno-management fest. A free beach festival and a ticketed campus fest are opposite problems — one is registration volume, the other is gate control.
Vihaya Events is not affiliated with these events — they are listed to show the kind of programming Kozhikode supports.
The Kerala Literature Festival on Kozhikode beach draws very large crowds and sets the city's January calendar. Ragam at NIT Calicut is one of South India's biggest campus fests — student pricing is expected.
