The story

Fes Festival of Amazigh Culture in Fes

The International Festival of Amazigh Culture in Fes celebrates the customs, music, dance and art of Morocco's indigenous Amazigh people, typically held each July. The most detailed available sourcing describes the 15th edition running July 12-16, 2019, so continuation into recent years and current edition numbering could not be independently confirmed.

For travelers, Fes Festival of Amazigh Culture works best as a music festival rooted in Fes, Morocco, where the setting shapes the visit as much as the program.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival centers Amazigh identity in a country where that heritage sits alongside Arab and other cultural threads, offering workshops on the Tifinagh alphabet, poetry recitals in Amazigh languages, and performances of traditional styles such as Ahidous music and dance

02

The mystery stays covered

Exhibitions of books and paintings and craft workshops covering weaving and pottery round out a program built around active participation rather than passive viewing

03

The city starts moving

Because confirmed sourcing centers on the 2019 edition, it is unclear whether the festival has continued on the same annual schedule, under the same name, or with the same scope in more recent years
