Assomption

National holiday. A significant day for Burkina's Catholic community. Churches fill, choirs sing, and afterward everyone gathers for a meal that always includes riz gras. The faith runs deep in the Centre-Ouest and the processions through Koudougou and Ouaga are a sight that stays with you.

Dia de la Asuncion

National holiday in many towns, especially in the highlands where the Virgin Mary's assumption is celebrated with processions, marimba, and enough fireworks to make the volcano jealous.
