Yennayer 2976 : Les célébrations au coeur de Paris

Since its inception, the city of light has welcomed with open arms members of the Maghrebin diaspora to celebrate together the Berber New Year Yennayer 2976. This tradition has become a hallmark event in our community and is an excellent example of integrating our cultures at the heart of Paris.

1. History and Origin of Yennayer

The Berber New Year, also known as Yennayer, marks the beginning of the year according to the lunar calendar used by the Berbers. This celebration has its roots in the traditions and rites of the Amazigh people from North Africa.

For most Berber communities, Yennayer is celebrated with festivities that include music, dance, and sharing traditional meals. However, today, Yennayer celebrations have also started to spread to other European cities like Paris, where our community has established itself for centuries.

2. The Event Organized in Paris

Every year, Berber associations from the diaspora organize a grand event to celebrate Yennayer 2976 in Paris.

The festivities include concerts, dances, exhibitions, and speeches on our culture and history. These events are a time for the Maghrebin community of the diaspora to come together and celebrate its culture, traditions, and identity.
