About this event
Experience the Durbar Festival, a royal equestrian celebration that takes place in several northern Nigerian states during Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

This grand festival features a magnificent parade of ornately dressed horsemen, drummers, and warriors, led by the Emir and his royal entourage. Durbar is a showcase of Islamic tradition, military pageantry, and Hausa-Fulani culture, reflecting centuries-old customs of loyalty and honor.

Whether you’re fascinated by regal processions, historic traditions, or the powerful display of horsemanship, the Durbar Festival is an unmissable spectacle!
