Events calendar Tana – Antananarivo

Every year, Madagascar celebrates the anniversary of its independence on June 26, 1960. Two days before, all buildings are decked out in the colors of Madagascar. On the 26th, official ceremonies include a military parade, while hira gasy opera performances are organized in the various districts. At night, it's time for dancing to the rhythms of tsapiky, salegy and the inevitable afindrafindrao. In the country's other cities, the festivities take many forms, with dance and music always playing an essential role.
