Moroccan Events in NYC

New York's Moroccan community shows up in ways that make the calendar impossible to keep up with alone — SummerStage gnawa concerts in Central Park, chaabi and Amazigh nights at underground clubs, film festivals at IFC and Anthology, tagine pop-ups in Bushwick, and the annual Moroccan Independence Day (November 18) programming that spans downtown Manhattan into Astoria.

Menna tracks every upcoming Moroccan event in NYC in one place, so you can catch the next one without hunting across five different Instagram accounts. Expect: live gnawa masters at Roulette, Symphony Space, and community-hall showcases; Amazigh (Berber) music and dance performances that don't always make it into "Moroccan" search results; contemporary Moroccan film — with Casablanca as the ascending North African cinema capital — at Film at Lincoln Center and IFC Center; food events from full Moroccan chef dinners to street-food pop-ups; and Ramadan iftars hosted by Moroccan mosques and community groups. Recent highlights have included Morocco: From Dakhla to Casablanca at SummerStage and World Cup watch parties for the Atlas Lions.

From Rabat-born New Yorkers to second-gen Moroccan-Americans to anyone who's ever fallen in love with a tagine — this is the calendar. The list below updates as new events are announced.
