Organized by the Tekkem Tarago association with the Ministry of Youth and Culture, this festival brings the Tadjourah waterfront to life for three days: folk dances, songs, Afar wedding dances and a crafts fair. The 3rd edition took place from February 5 to 7, 2026. The French foreign ministry places Tadjourah, like most of the country, under heightened vigilance.
