A yacht service between Kozhikode and Beypore, which is to be officially launched in January, will conduct its trial service during the Beypore International Water Festival.
Minister for Tourism P.A. Mohamed Riyas told reporters here on Monday (December 22, 2025) that the fifth edition of the festival, designed to mark Beypore as a tourism destination, will be held at the Beypore marina besides six other locations spread across the Beypore Assembly Constituency from December 26 to 28.“The festival has been decentralised this time to cut down on the heavy rush experienced during previous editions. With the works on the Cheruvannur overbridge still under way, it may be difficult to handle that kind of crowd in Beypore this year,” he said.
A salient feature of the festival this year is that local talent has been given prominence and, hence, in place of celebrity performances, cultural programmes by senior citizens will be presented. Women, Kudumbashree workers, residents’ associations, differently abled people, and students will be the major crowd pullers. The cultural programmes will be held in the evenings at Oceanus Chaliyam, Nallur Mini Stadium, Mullaveettil Abdurahman Park at Rahman Bazar, Cheruvannur We Park, and Nallalam We Park, besides the Beypore Marina.
