Festival of the Dhow Countries – July, Zanzibar Often described as East Africa’s largest cultural event, the Zanzibar International Film Festival, or Festival of the Dhow Countries is an iconic event.
It brings together the arts and cultures of several East African countries with those of India, Pakistan, the Gulf States, Iran, and the Indian Ocean islands.
While the film competition is the main event, it attracts an enormous variety of cultural experiences from music, theatre, and performing arts, to workshops, seminars, and conferences.
The festival sprawls between several beautiful and historical venues near the seafront in Stone Town, with a Village Panorama that extends the festival outwards to the rural communities.
It is a unique event to enjoy and one of the best things to do in Zanzibar on a visit.
