📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
The Cure Salée, or "Festival of the Nomads", is a yearly gathering of the Tuareg and Wodaabe peoples in the northern Niger town of In-Gall. The ceremony marks the end of the rainy season, and usually occurs in the last two weeks of September. The government of Niger began sponsoring the festival in the 1990s, fixing its date for each year, its duration, and bringing in dignitaries, performers, and tourists.
