Whales, in Sainte-Marie or Nosy Boraha in malagasy, are real chances for the local population. A population that hasn’t actually been aware of. A whole week of feast will attract media, partners, advertisers and of course tourists which the habitants of Sainte-Marie can fully get advantages of, by job creation, better life conditions through economic development of the villages. It’s just impossible to carry out that event without the implication of the autochthones:
This Whale event will animate all year long community actions and environmental education to the young population as well as to the art craft’s profit and the health assistance. That event will be a “safer” lever to lead the humanitarians helps which are often baffled by the disorganization on field. An active and transparent commission within the festival will be at disposal. Whales show us every year the way, if they come to breed in Sainte-Marie it’s that they just feel well and in harmony with the local population.
What’s in program?
SATURDAY 4th JULY 2015
Opening ceremony – show & carnaval – Opening night party
Each village or municipality have to creat their own Chariot for the defile. There are 17 municipalities in Sainte-Marie called Fokontany in Malagasy. A commission will be charged of conveying to them every different form of implications, advising them about the materials and techniques to use and to accompany them during the whole year until the starting day. A theme and a manager will be assigned to each Fokontany (possible theme: Pirate, Queen, Lemurs, Ravinala, Coconut, Pirogue, Turtle, etc…). They all will be financially supported to get the furniture such as paper, scrap, wood, char door, Fabric, etc… A judge will select 3 winners that will be rewarded by what the village really need (water adduction, first product of necessity like rice, salt, sugar…)

Sainte-Marie, its legendary name Nosy Boraha is related, in the French and English archives, to a man’s story who had his life saved by a big fish that took him on its back till the shore of the island. An island which was populated by only women and a big fish which could have been a whale, that were the beginnings of our beautiful island. That legend, that saves the adventurer’s life Jonas Boragny, fisherman, gave birth, naturally, to the construction of the island. Without these whales, Sainte-Marie would have remained virgin… Women, whales, fate chose to unit them. That festival will be built by women in honour of the whales who brought them lives… It’s been done, we can’t change story that wins. They come from different regions; some of them were born there, other from Eastern coast of the “big island”.
This event is just the perfect time to observe the Cetaceans and enjoy a good Whale Safari.
