Meskel Festival I Episode #9 I Backpacking Africa Travel Vlog HandZaround

The Meskel Festival is celebrated every year across Ethiopia on the 26th or 27th of September. Of all the celebration, the one that happens at Meskel Square, in Addis Ababa, is by far the largest. Thousands of people come together in an amazing spectacle to commemorate the finding of the True Cross in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.
We were lucky enough to get some tourist passes that allowed us to get right in the middle of the celebration and experience everything up close and personal.


Many thanks to ETT ( http://www.ethiotravelandtours.com/ ) for organising the passes for us. As usual, all the opinions in this vlog are our own.
