In Madagascar, the New Year ceremony takes place in March in a popular festival featuring festive meals, rituals and artistic performances. In 1897, the French colonial authority abolished this festival, leading the Malagasy to celebrate it in secret, but in recent years the country has fully recovered its customs. This weekend, from March 8 to 10, 2024, the REcyclerie is hosting a festival focusing on Malagasy commitment, a great opportunity to celebrate their New Year, with free entertainment!
The TAOMBAOVAO Festival, organized by Malagasy Women Empowerment (MWE) and Ala Tetikasa, is set to immerse you in the richness of Madagascan culture, and introduce you to their civic and ecological commitment, particularly to women's autonomy and sustainable development. The program includes a host of free events, as well as a festive evening featuring Madagascan artists and DJs.
To find out more about this country and its inhabitants, particularly hard hit by climate change, you can take part in workshops, discover traditional board games, shop in a vintage shop, get a tattoo and enjoy a street food stall with authentic flavours.
