Goans in Vancouver came together for the Spring Extravaganza Dinner Dance event hosted by the Goan Overseas Association (GOA) Vancouver at the Riverside banquet hall, Richmond, on May 25.

The crowd was also treated to stellar performances by Victor Rodrigues from the popular band ‘Bigfoot’, and Vancouver local, Charles Johnson. DJ Paul kept the energy high with his fantastic sets.
