Mauritius is much more than its white-sand beaches and turquoise lagoons. Hindu, Muslim, Christian, and Chinese traditions mix with Creole, African, and European influences on this island, making it one of the Indian Ocean’s most colorful festival calendars. Festivals in Mauritius are a great way to learn about the island’s people, history, and food, as well as to have a great time while you’re there. From spiritual pilgrimages at Grand Bassin to streets filled with modern art and music, there’s something for everyone.
This guide tells you about the most important and beautiful festivals, where they come from, what you can see, and gives you useful tips for visiting (when to go, where to stand, etiquette, and safety). It also points you to reliable sources so you can plan around dates and official events.
