Whether you’re drawn by music, traditional performances, or coastal charm, the Bagamoyo Arts Festival promises an unforgettable experience for art lovers and curious travelers alike.
What Makes the Bagamoyo Arts Festival Special?
The Bagamoyo Arts Festival is organized by TaSUBa (Taasisi ya Sanaa na Utamaduni Bagamoyo) — Tanzania’s leading College of Arts. Since its beginning in the 1980s, the event has become a meeting point for artists, musicians, and performers from across Africa and beyond.
During the four festival days, the town turns into a creative hub filled with:
Traditional ngoma dances, taarab music, and theater
Street art exhibitions and handicraft displays
Drumming and dance workshops for visitors
Collaborative performances by local and international artists
It’s not just a festival — it’s a celebration of Tanzanian identity and unity through art.
