Festival des Arts Populaires

Cultural dance & music festival (Jun/Jul)

Grupo de Danza en Chez Ali

Marrakesh's Festival des Arts Populaires (full title: Festival National des Arts Populaires de Marrakech. or FNAP) is held in late June or early July.

Gnawa Powa

The festival covers what is known in French as folklore, meaning any kind of cultural tradition, and particularly dance and music. There are performances in the Jemaa el Fna, Dar el Bacha, the Théâtre Royal, and the Menara Gardens. But the really big event is what is called a fantasia, a display of equestrian horsemanship with swords, held in the El Badi Palace, whose pools are filled for the occasion.

High five!

Tickets for these events can usually be obtained through the tourist office.
