About the event
Founded in 2004, Timitar ("signs" in Tachelhit) has become one of Morocco’s largest festivals and a flag-bearer of Amazigh culture. It brings together leading Amazigh singers, Moroccan artists and international guests from Africa, the Arab world and the West.
Agadir, a sunny southern seaside resort, offers the ideal setting: long beach, marina, summer climate and a wide choice of hotels. The festival is a chance to combine free evening concerts with beach time during the day.
