Jodhpur RIFF 2025 - Rajasthan International Folk Festival
Overview: India's premiere international roots music festival celebrating its 17th year from October 2-6, 2025, timed to coincide with Sharad Purnima, the brightest full moon of the year in north India. This annual not-for-profit festival presents spectacular concerts and events in the intimate setting of the magnificent Mehrangarh Fort, showcasing folk, indigenous, jazz, reggae, classical, and world music performed by over 350 young and legendary musicians from Rajasthan, India, and around the globe.
Highlights: Under the patronage of HH Gaj Singh II of Marwar-Jodhpur and international patron Sir Mick Jagger, this UNESCO-supported festival operates as a 'People's Platform for Creativity and Sustainable Development' with performances from dawn to dawn across multiple venues throughout Mehrangarh Fort. The festival combines free daytime concerts, ticketed evening performances, and late-night club events, featuring renowned artists including Padma Shri Lakha Khan, master of Sindhi sarangi, alongside emerging talents through the new 'Indie Roots' program, all while positively impacting the livelihood of traditional Rajasthani performers.
