the charming city-state in northwestern Germany, was buzzing with excitement from September 18 to 20 as it hosted the Moroccan Cultural Days. The event, organized by German-Moroccan associations and community groups, brought a splash of Moroccan flair to the heart of the city.
Set against the iconic backdrop of Bremen’s Market Square, surrounded by the majestic St. Peter’s Cathedral and the regional Parliament, the festival was a true celebration of Moroccan culture, drawing crowds of Moroccans, Germans, and dual nationals in a festive, welcoming atmosphere.
The highlight of the event was a lively musical performance that felt like a mini Moroccan festival, featuring an electric set by fusion singer Issam Kamal, the founder of the legendary group “Mazagan.” His Chaâbi-Groove tunes had the crowd dancing in the heart of Bremen, capping off a weekend full of joy, sharing, and unforgettable cultural exchange.
As the beats of young DJs filled the air, the crowd at Bremen’s Market Square was swept into a wave of energy and rhythm. But it was the iconic Dakka Marrakchia that truly brought the house down, with its lively Moroccan rhythms drawing in locals, tourists, and everyone in between for a night of dancing and celebration.
On this occasion, Bremen’s Secretary of State for Culture, Carmen Emigholz, expressed her enthusiasm for the Moroccan community’s cultural initiative, describing it as a powerful symbol of exemplary participation and integration.
Emigholz highlighted the openness and spirit of tolerance that define the Moroccan Cultural Days, which have been designed as an accessible and inspiring meeting point for all the diverse communities of Bremen.
The event, which animated the city for three days, was a reminder for many that the Moroccan community in Bremen, one of the first waves of diaspora settlers from the 1960s, has become a fundamental part of the region’s social, economic, and political fabric.
