11th Edition of the Jidar Festival: A Cultural Transformation in Rabat
The Jidar Festival is set to return for its 11th edition from April 16 to April 26, 2026. With a mission to transform Rabat into an open-air museum, this year's event promises a rich program that puts the spotlight on the transmission of Moroccan culture and the local art scene, aptly named "Urban Dialogues." Over the past decade, Jidar has played a crucial role in embedding urban art within the cultural landscape of Rabat, turning walls into canvases for storytelling and community engagement.

The festival's historical heart will once again be alive with the creation of 15 new murals scattered throughout the city. This year, there is a strong emphasis on showcasing Moroccan artists, fostering the emergence of a robust and dynamic local art scene. The initiative is not just about beautifying the city; it serves as a vibrant dialogue between contemporary creation and the local inhabitants, reflecting the community's identity and aspirations. As Jidar continues to grow, it reaffirms its commitment to making street art a lively forum for interaction and cultural exchange.
