Mahajanga is preparing for three days of festivities. From August 15 to 17, Star Tour will set up at Bord de Mahajanga with an entirely free program featuring concerts, entertainment, games, food, and relaxation areas. Through this event, Star aims to showcase Malagasy culture, promote national talent, and offer a moment of conviviality accessible to all.
Concerts will be the highlights of this edition. Several artists, including Arnaah, Ljo, Ckycky, and Ambondrona, will take the stage. The choice of artists resulted from a survey conducted internally by Star and among the public, while considering their availability.
Throughout the event, visitors will enjoy podium entertainment, carnival games, comedy shows with Teg Barhone, and performances by DJs Three T, DJ Looping, DJ Natoo, and DJ Jim. Raffles will also allow attendees to win prizes and goodies.
The site will feature several family-friendly spaces, including marquees offering snacks, a beer garden, inflatable structures, and children's games. Safety is among the organization's priorities. Several partners will be mobilized to ensure the smooth running of the event, including the presence of the Red Cross and compliance with infrastructure standards.
Concerned with preserving the site, Star plans daily cleaning throughout the event. On Monday, a major cleanup operation will be organized on the beach with Kopakelatra and local residents to restore the area. Kopakelatra bins will be installed to encourage festivalgoers to adopt responsible practices and contribute to the cleanliness of this family destination.
