MOROCCO
MARRAKECH
Get ready for some serious heat this summer, not
just from the scorching African sun, but also from the
Marrakech Popular Arts Festival. Enjoy Berber music,
folk dancing, street performers, and more—all for
free. People from all over the country come to celebrate
and the crowds can get chaotic, but the result is a cultural
atmosphere that you just can’t find anywhere else.

SOUTH AFRICA
HERMANES
At the southernmost tip of Africa, stare in amazement
as thousands of Southern Right Whales travel to South
Africa to mate and take care of their young. Join other
whale lovers at the Hermanes Whale Festival,
the only enviro-art festival in South Africa. The festival
takes place at peak viewing time, September 24–28.
Watch the ocean as you meander through the craft market,
and hope that you get a glimpse of these beautiful creatures.
