The story

Festival Goli de Beoumi in Beoumi

Festival Goli de Beoumi is a two-day mask festival held in early April in Beoumi, a Gbeke-region town near Bouake, now in its sixth edition. Rooted in the Baoule Goli masking tradition practiced across many communities in central Cote d'Ivoire, the festival is framed around social cohesion and cultural heritage, giving Beoumi its own distinct local expression of a wider regional masking practice.

Festival Goli de Beoumi has reached a sixth edition in Beoumi, a town in the Gbeke region roughly thirty kilometers from Bouake, and recent coverage frames the event around social cohesion and cultural heritage together.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Festival Goli de Beoumi's distinction lies in being Beoumi's own recurring local expression of the Baoule Goli masking tradition, a practice performed across many towns in central Cote d'Ivoire rather than confined to one place

02

The mystery stays covered

Reaching a sixth edition shows the festival has built a genuine local identity in Beoumi specifically, separate from Goli festivals held in other Baoule communities nearby

03

The city starts moving

Its explicit social-cohesion framing also gives it a civic dimension beyond pure heritage display, positioning the masked performances as a way of reinforcing community bonds in Beoumi as much as showcasing tradition to outside visitors
