Cultural festivals

Cultural festivals come to life as vibrant, colorful events that play a significant role in celebrating and honoring the traditions, customs, and heritage of a country or region or community. This is where cultural identity and preservation of historical legacy is expressed. In simple terms, cultural events are living museums bringing people together and displaying the practice of customs and traditions, passing them through generations, while strengthening national bonds and unity. They are also educational platforms that inform participants, attendees and spectators about cultural significance. Economically, the festivities have the propensity to boost local economies, create business for informal, micro, small and medium local enterprises as well as the hospitality industry, among others.
