Festivals in Morocco

The Mawlid () is an annual festival commemorating the birthday of the Islamic prophet Muhammad on the traditional date of 12 Rabi' al-Awwal, the third month of the Islamic calendar.

Bujlood () or Bilmawen (, ) is a folk Amazigh celebration observed annually after Eid al-Adha in parts of Morocco in which one person or more wears the pelt of the livestock sacrificed on Eid al-Adha.

Yennayer is the first month of the Berber (Amazigh) calendar. The first day of Yennayer corresponds to the first day of January in the Julian Calendar, which is shifted thirteen days compared to the Gregorian calendar, thus falling on 12 January every year. The Berber calendar was created in 1980 by Ammar Negadi, a Paris-based Algerian scholar. He chose 943 BC (rounded off to 950), the year in which the Meshwesh Shoshenq I ascended to the throne of Egypt, as the first year of the Berber calendar.
