Kelaat M'Gouna Rose Festival 2027
Dates taking place: May 2027 (exact dates to come)
Location: El Kelaâ M'Gouna, Morocco
Some festivals put a special emphasis on celebration through time-honored tradition, and those are truly something special. Kelaat M'Gouna Rose Festival 2027 in El Kelaâ M'Gouna is one of those special festivals.
Every May in the Dadès Valley, this Berber town attains its award of most colorful, most fragrant, and most joyous celebration. This award is due to the harvest of the Damascus Rose, the most sought after and valued flower, which is the source of all the commercially sold rose perfume.
Endless Possibilities
Local honeysuckle and rose hybrid, the Damascus Rose, harvest is revered and celebrated through a week-long festival of parades and music, marching through the town, traditional, Berber music playing, and live traditional dancers bringing the festival energy to the audience until a local Rose Queen is crowned to the cheers and clamors of hundreds of festival-goers.
Of course the local rose water, soap, and even rose infused jam will have you buying to the point that you will enter a new era of skincare preps. Buy a supply that even your friends will appreciate your generosity.

The Valley Does the Rest
El Kelaâ M'Gouna is located at one of Morocco's most scenic cross-sections. Nearby, the Dadès Gorge complements the landscape, the Valley of Roses blooms, and the southern road whisks the Sahara away. It's a place where it feels appropriate to stop and the relaxation of the town will facilitate it.
Mint tea is present almost suspiciously. The food is honest, generous, and scrumptious. The people have that special Moroccan hospitality, and each interaction feels less like a tourist visit and more like a heartful involvement.
Smart Decision for Travel Professionals
For DMCs, incentive planners, and travel agents, the gift of Rose Festival 2027 is the opportunity to showcase genuine cultural depth, and visual aesthetics which pique curiosity and leave clients feeling like they’ve achieved something special.

Clients do more than check a box. They are in a rose valley, witnessing a centuries-old tradition in action. such an experience is valuable and it boosts loyalty, referrals and makes the post-trip survey a pleasant read.
It's fragrant, festive, and surprisingly easy to build a great itinerary around. What’s not to love?
