Since its launch in 2018, Kouss-Kouss has been exploring the tastes, variations and sounds of this great cross-cultural dish. After harissa (2022) and blue fish (2023), the festival is once again playing the theme card by devoting its new edition to seeds, or rather grains: a plural that is so appropriate given the diversity of the semolina rolled in the secrecy and agility of women’s hands over the course of its travels. From the Belle de Mai to the Plan d’Aou, via the Old Port, Noailles, les Goudes and all the districts where the energy of Marseille’s culinary scene is pulsating, nearly 200 places are invited to vibrate to the rhythm of couscous: emblematic restaurants, emerging tables, solidarity canteens, residents’ associations, third places, bakeries, patisseries, grocery shops…
This 7th edition of Kouss-Kouss, part of L’Été marseillais 2024, is co-produced by the Marseille Tourist Office and Convention Bureau, Marseille Centre and I.C.I-Les Grandes Tables, in partnership with the City of Marseille, the town halls of the 2nd and 3rd arrondissements and the town halls of the 1st and 7th arrondissements.
