Signature Annual Events in Taghazout

Good to Know

  • Taghazout Surf Expo dates are confirmed only a few months in advance—check official website for exact 2026 schedule.
  • Ramadan shifts earlier by about 11 days each Gregorian year because it follows the Islamic lunar calendar; exact start/end dates are confirmed only when the new moon is sighted.
  • During Ramadan, many restaurants may reduce daytime hours, but tourist-focused establishments and hotels generally remain open; public drinking and eating in daylight are culturally inappropriate.
  • The Taghazout Surf Expo is designed as both a professional conference and a public cultural event with free stages and community activities.
  • No major cultural moussems (traditional gatherings) are documented as regular annual events specific to Taghazout itself; larger regional moussems occur elsewhere in Morocco (e.g., Imilchil in September, Tan-Tan in autumn).
