Creole Festival

The Creole Festival, traditionally held in October, is a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of Seychelles. During this time, the island of La Digue come alive with vibrant colors, sounds, and flavors, showcasing the best of Creole traditions.

Join us for an exciting 3-day celebration of our Creole identity at L'Union Estate! From a variety of local food and snacks at the creole bazaar to lively dance performances, join in on spirited games, and experience a variety of activities that highlight the unique aspects of our heritage.

Merkredi Moutya

‘Moutya’ has been added to UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage and holds deep significance in Seychelles culture. This traditional dance and music form carries the soulful beats of drums and lyrics that chant stories from the past—tales of joy, struggle, and the resilience of the Seychellois people.

Taking place on the beach twice a month, we bring the traditional Seychelles dance and music to life as we gather around a bonfire at sunset to enjoy a lively performance by the local group, Masezarin.
