February Almond Blossom festival
The beauty of the pink and white almond blossoms are celebrated in mid February when they are in full bloom across the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Locals and tourists gather to taste the year’s crops and listen to traditional music. Tafraoute is the largest producer of almonds in Morocco and where the annual festival is held. The event is held inside an old Roman ruins and the scene creates a calming atmosphere and is staged and beautifully lit for performances throughout the day and evening. When the almond blossoms are in full bloom it is common for beekeepers to bring their hives into the orchards to help pollinate the crop.
