Timitar — Signs & Cultures is built around a phrase that has become its signature: “Amazigh artists welcome world music.” The festival affirms the cultural identity of the Souss while creating encounters with other musical scenes.
A festival born in Agadir
Founded in 2004, Timitar has grown into one of Morocco’s major music festivals and an important event on the African cultural calendar. Its line-up brings together Amazigh singers and ensembles, Saharan music, Moroccan popular traditions, African artists, voices from the Arab world and international projects.
Living heritage and contemporary creation
Ahwach, sung poetry, the art of the Rrways and regional repertoires meet pop, urban music, fusion and new stage practices. This dialogue gives heritage a visible place in the present.
A popular celebration across the city
Free and open to all, the festival unfolds in major public spaces in Agadir and connects culture to the tourism and economic life of the city.
The 2026 edition
The twenty-first edition takes place from 23 to 25 July 2026. Dates, schedules and confirmed artists should be checked in the annual programme.
