The Majuli Music Festival (MMF) is an annual not-for-profit music festival staged in the picturesque island of Majuli in Assam. It was launched in 2019 by the Majuli Music Festival Foundation, held again in 2021 and hosts over 30 artists from across India. On the bill previous year were singers Bishrut Saikia, Doctor Lincoln, Joi Barua, Lucky Ali, Nilotpal Bora, Salman Elahi and Trishna Gurung, the duo O Daapun, and the bands Avora Records, Jutimala and the Tai Folks, Madhouse Mongrels, Motherjane, Naalayak, The Midnight Taxi and The Sleeping Satellite.
At the Majuli Music Festival, in addition to watching the performances, attendees can sample tribal cuisine and wine, camp under the stars, partake in birding, fishing and boating, get a glimpse into the way of life at the village and visit the Sri Sri Samaguri Satra to learn about the mask making tradition of the area.
In Majuli, flood and soil erosion during the monsoon has made the lives of farmers vulnerable. With this in mind, the festival is designed keeping sustainability at its core. The stages and decor are made with locally-sourced bamboo from the village and the installations are created using recycled materials.
