The Agadir public will have an appointment with major artistic evenings held on 3 stages (Tikiouine, Al Amal Square, and Agadir Oufella Kasbah), performed by the brightest stars of Amazigh song, in addition to performances of the Raïs and Ahwach arts. The film "Mouga Yushkad" will also be screened in Anza, Talborjt, and Bensergao, as part of the Amazigh cinema program.
