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.
