Presentation:
Situated on the shore of the mediterranean basin, on the northern west of Tunisia, the town of tabarka is famous for its richness in coral, its rocky underwater and its shiny sun.

The tabarka international festival started in 1961 under the name of "coral feast". In 1970 it turned only around the magic slogan : "Don't lie around in the sun". Today, it aims at promoting the cultural infrastructure in order to make of it the linchpin of local animation : consequently, during summer, the town would become an artistic and cultural crossroads where the most important talents from allover the world would perform.

The whole region, with the government help considers this event as an integrated economic catalyst.
The festival then appeals to anything to discover world cultures, to organise workshops for different artistic activities, and to exchange reflections with world wide-known thinkers and writers. This festival for western and oriental songs and national folk arts offers a relaxed and culturally-enriching atmosphere.
