Kakkoor is a village near Piravom in Ernakulam district. The Kakkoor Kalavayal celebrated here is a traditional post-harvest festival of the peasants.

An agricultural products and implements exhibition, folk art performances, music concerts and elephant processions etc accompany this centuries-old 'bullock cart race festival'.

It is believed that annually, the two deities of the neighbouring villages, Edapara and Ambassery, who are sisters, meet at the Kakkoor Kalavayal. This is the legend of the origins of the festival.
