DC’s 12th Official Mimouna Festival Of Good Neighbors With SHIN-DC and JxJ

April 12 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Presented by Sephardic Heritage International (SHIN-DC) together with JxJ: the Washington Jewish Film & Music Festival
✨ Join us for one of DC’s most vibrant and joyful cultural celebrations! ✨
Marking the end of Passover, SHIN-DC’s Mimouna is a festive celebration that honors a beautiful tradition: In Morocco, Muslim neighbors would bring culinary ingredients that Jewish families did not have in their homes during Passover, sparking a joyful evening of neighborly goodwill, hospitality, sweets, music, and shared hopes for prosperity in the new spring season.

Each year, SHIN-DC brings this beloved tradition to life in Washington, DC! SHIN-DC’s Mimouna Festival of Good Neighbors—recognized as the District’s official Mimouna—brings together people of ALL BACKGROUNDS. Mimouna 2026:
🎶 Live performance by internationally acclaimed Moroccan-Israeli artist Neta Elkayam, with a special interfaith ensemble:
🍯 Delicious traditional sweets

🎤 Inspiring guest speakers

Plus, this year we’re celebrating 250 years of U.S.A.–Morocco friendship!
