Morocco's Feasts and Festivals
Festival in Morocco
Feasts are organized during all seasons,
celebrating various local traditions.
Festivals are consecrated to the arts and to the popular traditions.
"Moussems" are important gathering to pay homage to a holy man.
Do not miss the opportunity to have fun. You can admire fantasias, dances,
songs, traditional costumes, and you will participate to the processions and
taste the wonderful food.
These demonstrations often vary depending on local conditions (harvest) or
on the lunar calendar. It is therefore difficult to give precise dates in
advance.
