Ahawash

Every year, in early May, Kelaa M’Guna holds a festival to celebrate the rose harvest. The roses are distilled in order to make rosewater, perfume and other products.  Last year, I worked with other fellow volunteers running a blood pressure screening booth. While this year we did not work, I showed up so I could see the Ahawash performances.  Besides folk music, there are carnival rides, a parade, and booths selling regional products and handicrafts.
