Quebez Festival

Quebez Festival

Event Overview

The origin of the festival and the etymology of Quebes are all mysterious fire festivals. It is held every year on the evening of October 14th. A fight for fire by Quebes, a strange face, and Touba, a white outfit, also looms over onlooker. Because the sparks are scattered, it is a place to come in hard-to-burn clothes such as jeans. Also a hat is a must. Image courtesy: Godong City Tourism Division
