The Creolle Festival
Every year, the Festival Kreol is hosted by one of the districts so that more islanders can experience the celebration. For several days, there is partying and a gathering of people who have the talent or interest in the different forms of art.
For those who are skilled in language and communication, there is a Public Speaking contest where teams of four Seychellois youths choose a topic to present in the Kreol language. This aims to develop Kreol and inculcate appreciation for their mother tongue. In the visual arts, there is a contest open to young people. Their works are exhibited and their creativity in depicting the local culture is showcased. For the fashion fanatic, you can watch the ‘Fon Lanmal’, featuring the upcoming Seychellois designers, where you can see pieces made from indigenous materials. As for music lovers, one highlight is the ‘Konpetisyon Kanmotle’, a night of traditional music and dance.
Partying during the festivities will surely give you fun in the sun, but it will also give you a piece of the heart of the islands as you learn what Seychelles is really all about.
