Salé - Festivals

During the Mouloud, the anniversary of the birth of the prophet Mohamed, important festivals take place in Salé, particularly the festival of the candles held in May, when there is a great procession of boatmen and carriers of delightfully decorated multicolored candles. The many artisans of Salé are well known for their skills in keeping up traditions in the most varied areas: pottery, maraca leather ware, ironware, carpet weaving, embroidery, drapery and rush matting.
