| FEASTS AND FESTIVALS
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.
