Unter dem tropisch blauen Himmel feiern die Seychellois ausgelassen und fröhlich. Da die Mehrheit der Seychellois die römisch-katholische Religion praktiziert, dominieren christliche Feiertage den jährlichen Festkalender der Einheimischen, aber auch weltliche Feste und Veranstaltungen haben ihren festen Platz.

Music and dance are closely linked to the local culture and cannot be missed at any festival in the Seychelles. Local and international rhythms resound in the streets, and not only at the weekend.

After morning mass (which Seychelles women take particularly seriously), there is often a Creole picnic on the beach, barbecues and dancing to music.
The year-round tropical temperatures are of course the best prerequisites for a lively party culture, which also expresses itself in somewhat noisy barbecues on the beach, campfires and open-air dance evenings.
