Kouss Kouss Festival 2024
Since its beginnings in 2018, Kouss·Kouss festival has established itself in Marseille and continues to explore each year the variations and flavors of the transcultural dish. After harissa (2022) and blue fish (2023), the festival once again chooses a thematic approach by dedicating its new edition to the seed, or rather to the seeds: a plural that is so necessary as the semolina rolled with the secrecy and agility of women's hands has diversified over the course of its travels. From the Belle de Mai to the Plan d'Aou, passing through the Vieux-Port, Noailles, the Goudes, and all the neighborhoods where the energy of the Marseille culinary scene pulsates, nearly 200 venues are invited to vibrate to the rhythm of couscous: iconic restaurants, emerging tables, community canteens, resident associations, shared spaces, bakeries, pastry shops, grocery stores...Le Bonbon unveils all about this culinary festival so cheerful and festive!How adorable is this cute little chant! 🌟💕
