June Festivals and Events in Africa

Morocco plays host to two outstanding cultural events this June (2008). The Gnaoua Music Festival in Essaouira will be held at the end of the month. Essaouira is a wonderful destination in itself and traditional Gnaoua music is a heady combination of religious prayer, musical rhythms and acrobatics. The beautiful city of Fes hosts a Sacred Music Festival at the beginning of June, which attracts mystics, chanters and dancers from all over the world.

Other major festivals in Africa that take place in June (2008) include a Roots Festival in the Gambia, and an Arts Festival in Grahamstown, South Africa.
