The Fes Festival of World Sacred Music might only just have finished, but there are plenty of other cultural events to keep you busy for the rest of the year.
Fondation Esprit de Fès
The Spirit of Fez Foundation has three objectives:
- to boost the image of Fez by valuing its cultural life, events and artistic creativity
- to develop and make more accessible information on the city's culture
- to promote Fez internationally on a cultural and artistic level
To this end, events for the rest of 2009 are:
25-27 June
International Forum of Mediterranean Women (see our article here)
2-5 July
Amazigh Cultural Festival: features music, poetry and thought from the Amazigh Berber people.
23-27 September
Slam&Klam Festival: innovative artistic festival featuring artists in residence, poetry, videos, workshops and improvised music
October
Fez Culinary Art Festival: not only Moroccan cuisine, but input from Japan, Greece and Spain too.
13-15 November
Fez Jazz Festival. Yes, it's got a new name, we're pleased to note. And a more ambitious programme encompassing not only the medina but the whole city.
15-17 November
Forum of the Alliance of Civilisations & Cultural Diversity
