In Tafraout, the Almond Festival connects agricultural heritage, the social economy and cultural creation around one of the Anti-Atlas region’s emblematic trees.
A landscape shaped by almond trees
The festival is linked to the flowering season and highlights the landscapes, farming practices and knowledge associated with almond cultivation. It places local culture within a broader vision of territorial development.
Cooperatives, products and craft knowledge
Exhibition areas give visibility to cooperatives, farmers, craftspeople and small businesses. Food products, cosmetics, oils, pastries and handmade objects show how a local resource can support several value chains.
A cultural and family programme
Concerts, popular entertainment, discussions, workshops and family activities complement the economic dimension. The festival also provides an introduction to Amazigh heritage and contemporary creative practices in the Souss region.
A platform for Tafraout’s attractiveness
By bringing together agriculture, tourism, culture and the social economy, the event strengthens Tafraout’s profile as a destination for nature and heritage. Dates and programmes vary between editions and should be confirmed with the organisers.
