Bashikh (Senhaja De Srair: Bacix) is an annual cultural and harvest festival celebrated by the Senhaja de Srair, who inhabit the central Rif of northern Morocco. Traditionally, Bashikh is a week-long celebration that coincides with the Amazigh New Year. Currently, the event is organized as a two-day festival by the Association of Amazighs of Senhaja of the Rif, and past editions have been hosted across Targuist, Tétouan, and Tangier.[1][2][3][4]
