The story

La Marsa Nights Festival in La Marsa

La Marsa Nights Festival appears to correspond to Festival les Nuits de la Marsa, an event of music and theatre evenings organized by Mrad Saied in the seaside Tunis suburb of La Marsa. Programming runs in the cooler evening hours in venues around this corniche town, which sits between Sidi Bou Said and Carthage on the Gulf of Tunis.

La Marsa occupies a specific place in greater Tunis geography: a coastal suburb reachable by the TGM light rail line, sitting between the artists' village of Sidi Bou Said and the ancient ruins of Carthage, with a corniche and beach that have made it a favored evening and weekend destination for Tunis residents for generations.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

La Marsa itself is what gives this event its character: a residential, relatively affluent northern suburb of Tunis known for its seafront corniche, cafes, and proximity to Sidi Bou Said and the ruins of Carthage, rather than a purpose-built festival site

02

The mystery stays covered

The available reporting describes Les Nuits de la Marsa as an evening program of music and theatre under organizer Mrad Saied, timed to avoid the harshest midday heat, which lets performances spill informally into the town's outdoor spaces along the coast
