The 20th edition of the Arabesques Festival in Montpellier, set for September 9-21, will spotlight Morocco through a rich program of music, theater, cinema, and more.

Announced on Tuesday at a press conference in Rabat, the special “Focus Maroc” is a program co-organized by HIBA Foundation and Montpellier’s City Hall, aiming to showcase the diversity of Moroccan arts and support emerging talent.

Festival director Habib Dechraoui emphasized the event’s role in celebrating Arab culture in Europe, while Montpellier’s mayor Michaël Delafosse praised it as a bridge between Mediterranean and Arab cultures.

Attracting over 20,000 attendees annually over 15 days, the Arabesques Festival promises an immersive cultural experience across Montpellier’s iconic venues, blending music, theater, cinema, dance, calligraphy and gastronomy.
