Nalut Spring Festival

Known as one of the most famous festivals in Libya, The Nalut Spring Festival was founded to revitalize and promote local culture, customs, industries, and arts as part of Libya's sacred legacy, as the name denotes. The Nalut Spring Festival is held in late March (March 29th) and lasts three days. The festival kicks off with a flame lighting and an opening ceremony, followed by a parade of local schools and folk organizations before various artists entertain the crowd with traditional music and dancing at night.

Due to its location on the main route to Ghadames, the festival has attracted a large number of foreign visitors and tourists passing through on their way to the desert sites of Acacus and Waw Nnamous. The festival has grown in popularity to the point where many tourists come to Libya specifically to attend it, as they did to the Berber festivals of Ghat and Ghadames.
