It stands as the largest enduring ancient traditional harvest festival in Zaarland, with roots dating back centuries.

Every year, Zaar sons, daughters, friends, and tourists from around the globe converge in the heart of Tafawa Balewa, the ancestral headquarters of Zaar, to celebrate this festival. Traditionally, the celebration and rites of the harvest festival mark the commencement of the harvest season and the consumption of new crops.

ISOZI Bauchi, Nigeria, October 26, 2023 Mr. John Rica Emmanuel, Youth leader of ZAYODA Lagos  — In a world where success often hinges on external support, a remarkable initiative is proving that independence and growth can be achieved without dependency. As the United Arab Emirates leads in tourism, Israel pioneers technology, and communities like Zaar Land strive for excellence independently, the message is clear: self-reliance is a powerful path to success.
