Festivals in Iraq

Another thing you should know before traveling to Iraq is about the festivals in this country. Iraqi holidays include a variety of cultural events and religious celebrations, in addition to Islamic-based festivals and traditions.

Iraqis commemorate historical events such as Army Day (January 6), Republic Day (July 14), Ceasefire Day (August 8), Baghdad Liberation Day (April 9), and Iraqi Independence Day (October 3) throughout the year. One of the most famous festivals in this country that Toplist would like to introduce to you is the "Babylon International Festival". The Babylon International Festival is a once-a-year event that celebrates all forms of art and music. The festival celebrates science and culture through folkloric ensembles, singing, musicals, stage performances, seminars, workshops, and other activities, representing various cultures and civilizations. Its main goal is to pass on ancient traditions to younger generations in order to preserve them. From September 22 to October 1, the annual event will take place.
