Dunes near Tan-Tan, the regional setting of the moussem; the photograph does not show a festival edition
What unfolds
UNESCO's record establishes the Moussem of Tan-Tan as a major gathering and space for exchange, oral expression, performance, craft and pastoral traditions. A dated occurrence is created after organisers announce its edition, site, programme and public access. Copy should preserve “moussem” with a gloss rather than flatten it into “festival,” and it must avoid presenting participants as costumes. Photography, tent access, animal activity and ceremonies follow edition and participant rules.
Season and access
Edition dates, site, programme and access require organiser evidence; no recurrence month is stored canonically.
