Imilchil Festival
24/09/2009 - 30/09/2010
Place: Imilchil
The Imilchil Marriage Festival is Morocco's version of the Romeo and Juliet love story. This tribal marriage festival has it's beginnings in a story about a man and a woman from local tribes who loved each other deeply, but were forbidden to marry as their families were mortal enemies. So the pair cried themselves to death, and their tears formed the nearby lakes of Issly (his) and Tisslit (hers). Their families were absolutely grief-stricken and overcame their animosity to establish this day, on the anniversary of their children's death, on which members of the 2 tribes could marry. Thus, the Imilchil Marriage Festival was born!
