Popularly known as the festival of festivals, Parab is an annual tribal celebration organised by the District Council of Culture in the month of November. The festival witnesses sports and cultural events, seminars, mountain trekking sessions, boat races and art camps. It showcases the cultural heritage of various tribal communities and provides a fabulous opportunity for locals as well as tourists to catch glimpses of the rich cultural heritage of various tribal communities. One of the key highlights of the Parab tribal festival is that it provides a platform to the small tribal groups of Odisha, with different cultural values and life experiences, to come into focus and thereby help in the preservation of their indigenous culture.
