Special offers by Jaintia Tourism and Environment Society awaits visitors at Jowai this New Year
SHILLONG, December 22: As the year draws to a close and the new replaces the old, invariably on 31st December and 1st January, all over the world, everyone must be getting ready to celebrate this transition with our family and loved ones in our homes, outdoors, in clubs and in neighbourhoods.
Celebrating New Year’s Eve and New Year as a nation and a community has been a regular feature of all societies worldwide but what is unique in this part of the world is that in Jowai town it has assumed epic proportions and has been passed on from generation to generation for many years now, making it probably the biggest single community celebration in the world. Hundreds of residents join in the celebrations on 31st December with “Mega Bonfires” and entertainment all night long, in all the neighbourhoods followed by a “Community Feast” the next day. It does not end with the feast but what lies in store is a Carnival on the roads of Jowai town in the evening accompanied by music and dancing and participated by the young and old, men and women, in the spirit of camaraderie and bonhomie.
This time, round the Jaintia Tourism and Environment Society (JTES), a group of tourism entrepreneurs and facilitators in Jaintia Hills, are taking the event to another level altogether with an open invitation to everyone from outside Jowai to visit Jowai town on 31st December and 1st January to witness this annual Jowai New Year’s Community Celebration.
