Kano Durbar Festival

Tosin Adeleye

Durbar festival is an annual festival celebrated in the Northern part of Nigeria. It is celebrated at the culmination of Muslim festivals Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. It begins with prayers, followed by a parade of the Emir and his entourage on horses, accompanied by music players, and ending at the Emir's palace. 
Durbar festivals are organised in cities such as Kano, Katsina and Bida, and are considered tourist attractions.
