SUMMARY:The Annual Stanbic DYC Zanzibar Adventure Paddle
DESCRIPTION:This epic paddle was founded in 2015\, when a group of Dar es Salaam Yacht Club paddlers teamed up with sponsors\, Stanbic Bank\, to complete the 6.5 – 7 hour paddle adventure. Four years later\, with Stanbic Bank still\, this paddle adventure has become an annual event and as from 2018 had 10 Stanbic Sponsored EPIC surfski’s available for out of town and/or International participants. In 2018 the event took place on the 30th of June. The dates for the 2019 race are confirmed as 15th June.  \nApproximately 34km of sea lies between mainland Dar es Salaam and the Pungume sandbank in Zanzibar. What looks like a simple trip on Google Earth turns into a very respectable challenge to those who might aspire to such things. The sea floor in this passage is variable\, ranging from very deep to very shallow and the currents can be strong\, but with the right preparation\, one experiences a magical early morning departure in the dark\, panoramic sunrise out of the ocean and a rewarding run with the ocean swells and breeze.

SUMMARY:Zanzibar Fashion Week
DESCRIPTION:Fashion Week Zanzibar is a new initiative dedicated to celebrating fashion created in or inspired by the beautiful island of Zanzibar\, Tanzania. The festival of fashion will be held at locations around Unguja\, the main island of the Zanzibar archipelago. \nSet off the coast of East Africa\, in the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean\, the style of Zanzibar has many influences. Rich Swahili culture blends here with Indian\, Arab and European influences\, brought here for centuries on trade winds. The unique culture\, paradise setting\, and Zanzibar’s status as a cosmopolitan hub of trade all influence the designs created and inspired by the archipelago. \nAt Fashion Week Zanzibar\, see the freshest\, newest styles created by Zanzibar’s established and up and coming designers. Drawing from centuries of cultural collisions\, the brightly coloured traditional patterns of kanga and kitenge from Eastern Africa\, and a one-of-a-kind modern island sensibility\, designs showcased at Fashion Week Zanzibar will showcase the best and most unique style in the region.

SUMMARY:Eid-al-Fitr
DESCRIPTION:Eid al-Fitr is an important religious holiday. Celebrated by muslims worldwide that marks the end of Ramadan\, the islamic holy month of fasting. The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan. The first day of Eid falls on the first day of the new moon and this varies based on the observation of new moon by local religious authorities\, so the exact day of celebration varies by locality. \nIn Zanzibar Eid al-Fitr is celebrated by the 98% population of Muslims who all get dressed up in traditional clothing and celebrate on the streets for 4 days.
