20 – 23 July 2011
One of Zanzibar’s oldest traditional festivals is the celebration of Mwaka Kogwa. The festival marks the arrival of the new year, or 'Nairuz' according to the Shiraz (Iran) calendar.  Shirazis were the first foreigners to settle in Zanzibar in any number, and many aspects of their culture were absorbed by the Swahili people and were given a local context.
