One of the most unique and colourful festivals in The Gambia is inviting you to taste the unique cultural expression of the Kankurang and other masking traditions of West Africa and get an insight into an intangible authentic cultural heritage. It is a great opportunity not only to be present at the festival but also to explore village life, history, wildlife, and the culture of the Janjanbureh and surrounding areas.

You can put a stone and make a wish in the Stone Circles in Wassu and learn about the history and culture of Janjanbureh.
