Marrakech Arts Festival

Posted by Ann on July 25, 2010

Every summer there is a great festival going on in Marrakech that celebrates all of the local talent from crafts and clothing  to music and dance. This was the 45th year of the National Festival of Popular Arts in Marrakech and it is a wonderful way to enjoy the culture of the city.

The festival goes on for nine days through out the city. Stages are built up in different areas of the city keeping the crowds moving around from place to place. The festival puts the spot light on many of the areas of Morocco each with its own costumes and music. It is a great way to see the differences between the people who live in Morocco.

Like many cultures that carry on the traditions of their ancestors, the people from different areas of Morocco are celebrating many traditional dance and music pieces. While you are visiting the festival you will see traditional music and art as well as Chaabi, Amazigh art, Moroccan songs, Aita and now many new modern twists on traditional pieces with the young generations pop art.

Alll you need is a room at one of the marrakech hotels with someone you love to come and immerse yourselves in the local culture of this great Moroccan city.
