Cultural Events and Manifestations

SUBIOS (Sub Indian Ocean Seychelles) Underwater Film and Image Festivall

      

The Kreol Festival

During the festival, the Seychellois people welcome to its shores Kreols from the world over: the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean, North America, South America … and the whole Kreol Diaspora. Every year, for the past decade and a half, visitors are invited to savour the Kreol way of life or their "Kreolite", as expressed through the myriads of manifestations which include exhibitions of Kreol arts and crafts, spicy Kreol cuisine, traditional music and dances.

National Arts Festival of Seychelles

This event organised by the National Arts Council in collaboration with the Ministry of Community Development, Youth, Sports and Culture seeks to encourage creative expression and participation for all, through the provision of practical activities, exhibitions, performances, forums, and workshops.

It also aims to facilitate and promote a greater understanding and appreciation of the contemporary arts through the provision of access, information and discussion and, as such, may be seen as a showcase of the contemporary Seychelles' arts scene. The Festival acknowledges the contribution of the contemporary arts to society and plans to recognise individual or group achievements of artists through the distribution of merited awards later in the year.
