The celebration offers a wide selection of activities and performances and there’s something for everyone in the family to enjoy such as live Amazigh music featuring both local and international Amazigh artists, Henna tattoos, Moroccan mint tea and sweets, traditional Berber dances and so many more surprises.
This year’s event is particularly special as there will be No food served due to COVID restrictions. There will, however, be hot tea with mint, traditional sweets, folkloric dances and lots of live Amazigh Music representing both Morocco’s Souss and Atlas region, as well as the Algerian kabyle music and many more musical styles.
