Events in Casablanca
As crossroads between many different cultures, Casablanca offers lots of festivals that are sure to be welcome additions to any journey to the city:
Jazzablanca
Taking place in mid-April, Jazzablanca is one of the largest Jazz festivals in Africa with many notable guests visiting the city from around the world. If you have any interest in the modern Jazz scene, this soothing festival by the sea is a sure way to unwind and relax.
Feast of the Throne
Held in late July, the Feast of the Throne is a celebration of the King of Morocco. Locals take to the streets for dancing and partying late into the night. Many towns and cities have fireworks, live music and other festivities. This is a great way to meet the residents of Casablanca and learn about their traditions.
L’Boulevard
A more traditional music festival, similar to Glastonbury, L’Boulevard is an inexpensive alternative to an English festival. There’s a focus on urban music and a lot of younger talent is given the opportunity to play alongside well-established acts. If you’re visiting in early September L’Boulevard is worth your time and money.
