Gerewol Festival

Gerewol-Festival

The Gerewol Festival is an annual courtship event that takes place among the WodaabeFula tribe in Niger.

Do you know: Women get to choose who they select for husbands at the end of the festival.

Every year, at the Gerewol Festival, the men of the WodaabeFula tribe wear elaborate costumes, apply make-up and perform, sing and even dance in order to win their brides. While the men display their prowess, it is the women who choose their partners.
