Morocco Days in Miami

Moroccan craft, contemporary design, food and cultural traditions come together for the first edition of a two-day festival at Ponce Circle Park in Coral Gables. Held Friday, October 23 and Saturday, October 24, Morocco Days in Miami introduces visitors to artisans, makers, brands and ideas representing both the country’s cultural heritage and contemporary creative life. Admission is free. The festival is organized around three experience areas. Souk Origins focuses on traditional craft, textiles and hands-on workshops, while Made in Morocco highlights contemporary fashion, design, gastronomy and independent brands. Industry & Future turns toward entrepreneurship, technology and businesses shaping modern Morocco. The regions of Rabat-Salé-Kénitra and Drâa-Tafilalet are among those featured throughout the event. The inaugural gathering also reflects longstanding ties between Morocco and the United States dating to 1777, when Morocco opened its ports to American ships. Food, hospitality and opportunities to meet Moroccan artisans and creators are part of the weekend experience, with the detailed performance and activity schedule still to be announced. Festival hours are 4–11 p.m.…
