SILENT PARTIES
Neatly sidestepping the statewide ban on loud music after 10pm, Palolem is home to two hugely popular silent
rave parties where guests don a pair of headphones and dance the night away in outward quiet. You usually get
the choice of two or three channels featuring inhouse Goan and international DJs playing hip hop, house, electro
and funk. The parties generally don't fire up till after midnight. Admission includes headphones.
