What festivals are there in Africa?

Igniting Festival is the New Year in Somalia, which falls on August 1 day. In order to celebrate the bumper harvest and welcome the rainy year, people should enjoy themselves.

In rural Somalia, the celebration of the New Year began on July 3 1 and lasted for several days. On the eve of the festival, people were sitting around the bonfire, singing and dancing, and they were in a state of jubilation. Girls wear long skirts, shawls and headscarves, women carry babies, and barefoot children frolic back and forth. Most men wear the traditional white coat-"Maro", and a few Somalis wear suits and shirts, which is called the custom of children jumping on the bonfire on New Year's Eve. Naive children happily queue up and jump over the bonfire one by one, regardless of gender, once a year and several times when they are a few years old. 1 to 3-year-old babies are held and jumped by their mothers. Only when the number of hops is full can we burn off the mildew of a year and usher in an auspicious year. /kloc-adults are over 0/5 years old. You don't attend the bonfire party, but you cheer on the side.

The whole ceremony of the festival is called "Dabushdeka", which means "lighting", so it is called "lighting festival".
