Freedom Fest 2026 is more than a weekend of performances—it’s a celebration of creativity, expression, and community.

Across two days, Saltamontes will come alive with live rock bands, art exhibitions, live painting, creative workshops, fashion, flea markets, food experiences, vinyl listening sessions, mixology, and DJs carrying the celebration into the night.

It’s a space where musicians, artists, makers, entrepreneurs, and audiences come together to create something bigger than themselves.

As one of the most exciting creative spaces in Goa, Saltamontes is proud to host a festival built around collaboration, culture, and independent creativity.

Join us on 14 & 15 August 2026 and become part of a movement that celebrates freedom through music, art, and community. #FreedomFest

There’s no wrong choice.

Whether you’re reaching for a Mimosa or pouring yourself a Sangria, Sunday Brunch at Saltamontes is all about slowing down and enjoying the afternoon.

Good food, refreshing drinks, live music, and a garden full of conversation make it one of the most relaxing ways to spend a Sunday in Goa.

As a favourite garden café in Anjuna, our brunches are designed for long lunches, lingering conversations, and afternoons that don’t need an agenda.

If you’re looking for one of the most enjoyable things to do in North Goa, gather your brunch crew and settle in. Sundays were made for this.

The first edition of Unaccompanied: The Soloist Summit reminded us why live music matters.

For one evening, Saltamontes became a stage for original voices, honest storytelling, and artists willing to share something deeply personal with the audience.

Each performance brought a different perspective, creating a festival that felt intimate, inspiring, and filled with genuine connection.

As a venue that proudly supports the artist community in Goa, we’re grateful to every musician, sponsor, the Moving Arts team, and everyone who joined us for making the summit such a memorable experience.

It’s only the beginning, and we can’t wait to welcome even more original music into the Saltamontes garden.

Behind every great cocktail is someone who knows exactly how to bring it to life.

Meet Rajendra, one of the friendly faces behind the Saltamontes bar. Whether you’re ordering a perfectly balanced Negroni, a refreshing Mojito, or your favourite classic, every drink is prepared with care, consistency, and attention to detail.

At Saltamontes, the bar is more than just a place to order drinks. It’s where conversations begin, recommendations are shared, and familiar faces are always welcomed back.

As one of the most loved cocktail bars in Anjuna, we believe great hospitality comes from the people behind the counter just as much as what’s served across it.

Karaoke Night is never about singing perfectly.

It’s about having the confidence to pick up the mic, sing your favourite song, and enjoy the moment.

Every Tuesday, Saltamontes welcomes singers of every kind. Some perform with confidence, others with a little encouragement from friends, and every now and then, someone steps up and surprises the entire room.

That’s what makes it one of the most loved things to do in Anjuna at night. The performances are spontaneous, the crowd is supportive, and every song becomes part of a shared experience.

Set inside one of the most vibrant cocktail bars in Anjuna, Karaoke Night has become a weekly tradition where everyone gets their turn in the spotlight.

Some places are remembered for the food. Others for the music.

At Saltamontes, it’s the people who make the place.

From conversations that begin over cocktails to chance encounters that grow into lasting friendships, every corner of our garden has witnessed stories unfold. Artists meet audiences, travellers meet locals, and strangers often leave as friends.

As one of the most welcoming creative spaces in Goa, Saltamontes has always been about more than events. It’s about creating an environment where people feel comfortable staying a little longer, meeting someone new, or simply enjoying the moment.

Whether you’re here for live music in Anjuna, a quiet coffee, or a lively evening with friends, you’re already part of the community that makes this place what it is.

The Art of Doing Less

There are places designed to keep you moving.

And then there are places that invite you to slow down.

At Saltamontes, mornings begin with coffee and quiet corners. Afternoons drift into long lunches beneath the trees. Evenings arrive with cocktails, live music, and conversations that stretch well past sunset.

It’s why so many people discover us as a garden café in Anjuna and end up staying far longer than planned.

Part café, part bar, part community gathering space, Saltamontes has become a favourite among travellers, creatives, and remote workers looking for a slower pace. As one of the most loved digital nomad cafés Goa has to offer, it’s a place where productivity and relaxation somehow coexist.

Somewhere in Goa, time is moving slower than the rest of the world.

And honestly, we’re perfectly okay with that.

Good Food = Good Mood

Some equations don’t need explaining.

A great meal has a way of changing the pace of the day. Conversations become longer, plans become looser, and suddenly there’s nowhere else you’d rather be.

At Saltamontes, food has always been part of the experience. Whether it’s a leisurely brunch, a pizza shared between friends, or comfort food paired with cocktails and live music, every plate is meant to be enjoyed without rushing.

As one of the best cafés in Anjuna, we believe food is about more than what’s on the table. It’s about the moments that happen around it.

Good food. Good company. Good mood.

Celebrating Original Music, One Artist at a Time

The first edition of Unaccompanied: The Soloist Summit was everything we hoped it would be — intimate, inspiring, and deeply rooted in the spirit of original music.

Over the course of the evening, seven artists shared their songs, stories, improvisations, and creative worlds with a room full of listeners who came ready to experience something different. The result was a night that felt honest, vulnerable, and incredibly special.

As a space that has always supported the artist community in Goa, seeing musicians and audiences connect so deeply reminded us why events like these matter.

A huge thank you to every performer, every guest who listened, applauded, and stayed present, and to our sponsors Ouro, Rangeela Vodka, AMD Maestro Group, and Tonia Group for helping make it possible.

Saltamontes has always aimed to be one of the most welcoming creative spaces in Goa, and evenings like this reinforce that vision. This was only the beginning, and we’re excited to see how the summit evolves in the months ahead.

Midweek Plans? Sorted.

There’s something about Wednesday nights at Saltamontes.

The week is far enough along to deserve a break, but not quite close enough to the weekend. That’s where Chao comes in. Bringing crowd-favourite covers across rock, pop, and indie, Chao Nights have quietly become one of the most enjoyable things to do in Anjuna at night.

Set in our open-air garden, the evening unfolds naturally. Familiar songs turn into sing-alongs, strangers become part of the same conversation, and the atmosphere stays light, easy, and welcoming.

Add a cold beer, a Gin & Tonic, or a glass of Urrak, and you’ve got the perfect midweek reset.

At Saltamontes, some nights don’t need a big plan. They just need good music and the right company.
