The town's event calendar reflects its dual heritage:
* **Venkanna Babu Kalyanam**: A massive annual Hindu chariot festival that draws thousands of devotees from Yanam and neighboring districts. * **Fête de Pondichéry**: Celebrated to honor the liberation of Puducherry and its enclaves, featuring cultural performances and regional pride. * **Brahmotsavam**: Celebrated at local temples with great fervor. * **Republic Day & Independence Day**: Marked by parades and cultural showcases at the town center, heavily attended by local government officials.
