If visiting during Sallah (Eid), you can witness the vibrant Durbar festival with traditional horse-riding, drumming, and dances performed by the local community.
The Durbar festival is an annual cultural, religious and equestrian festival, celebrated as a core part of Hausa culture in Arewa. Durbar has existed for centuries in the Hausa Kingdoms, and is a paramount part of Hausa cultural rites, tradition, and history.
