A festival that honors the Sultan Bamoun and promotes local products and crafts.

The Nguon festival was last held in September 2022 and will be celebrated again in 2024. The first edition was held in 1394, on the initiative of Nshare Yen, founder of the Bamoun dynasty. In 1992, His Majesty Ibrahim Mbombo Njoya decided to organize these ceremonies every two years. The event gives his subjects an opportunity to express their grievances to the Sultan, and an agro-pastoral fair is held in parallel to showcase local produce.

Le festival du Nguon se déroule tous les 2 ans début décembre à Foumban. J'ai eu la chance d'y assister en 2014 et en 2016 et c'est l'une des plus belles manifestations culturelles à laquelle j'ai eu la chance d'assister au Cameroun. Ce festival dure une semaine mais les évènements clefs se déroulent lors du 2eme et dernier week-end avec 1/ le samedi matin la cérémonie officielle de destitution et restitution des pouvoirs au Sultan (suivi en direct à la TV) et 2/le dimanche une célébration plus populaire de défilés des populations se déguisant en guerriers. Je vous conseille vivement de vous rendre sur la place de la Mosquée dès 6h15 le dimanche afin d'assister à l'appel des guerriers qui s'effectue au tambour. Après dirigez vous vers le Palais du Sultan afin de le voir sortir avec ses notables et rejoindre le défilé de la population!
