April–May for Pooram, plus Onam in August–September.
Thrissur Pooram is the fixture and one of the largest single-day gatherings in the country — 26 April in 2026 at the Vadakkumnathan temple, with the flag-hoisting on the 20th, sample fireworks on the 24th, the southern gopuram opening at 11am on the 25th and the main fireworks at four in the morning on the 27th. The Pooram Exhibition runs for weeks alongside it. Around that, Thrissur carries Kerala’s densest year of temple festivals and school-and-college arts competitions.
