The first ever Maram music festival-cum-social get-together titled Maramfest 2009 was held on 10 January 2009 at Maram Centre Helipad ground[2]. It witnessed a huge crowd of over 5,000 which included many senior Maram leaders[3]. In addition to music, the festival brought together people from different walks of life as one big happy family.
The festival managed to lure both the young and old alike, with a good number of head counts from far off places. An interesting incident worthy of note was villagers from New Magaimai (located 16 kilometres from the venue) hiring 5 Tata Sumos to be able to attend the festival[4].
