Marrakech Folklore Days 2024

Welcome to Morocco!

Beside the traditional Prague Folklore Days, we have been organizing another big folklore festival - this one on the African continent!

After the extraordinary success of the 2023 edition, it is a great pleasure for us to invite you a to the magical city of Marrakech in Morocco, to the 6th International Meeting of Folklore Ensembles «Marrakech Folklore Days», the probably biggest international folk dance event on African continent.

The next festival will be held in the period : October 23 - 27, 2024. The event is orga- nised and realised by the «L Á ssociation du Patrimonie et du Folklore» from Marrakech together with Agency Millennium (organizer of Prague Folklore Days since 2006).
The festival is taking place under the auspices of the authorities of the City of Marrakech and Prefecture of Marrakech.

Our festival is open for amateur folklore ensembles of all types (singing groups, dancing groups with live or recorded music) as well as for marching groups (such as majorettes, historic soldiers, marching bands, flag wavers, carnival and gugge groups, historic groups, piper groups, historic costume groups, wind and brass orchestras etc.) without age limit or size.

We will be happy to provide contacts to any of them should you be interested in any references.

Marrakech is not as far as it may seem, there are excellent air connections to Marrakech from many major cities - we will be happy to provide with information on cheapest flights from your area to Marrakech however we are not able to make ticket reservation for you.
We certainly pay a lot of attention to security of all guests:
