Ngouon Festival

A cultural and traditional festival, the Ngouon festival is a biennial ceremony not to be missed among the Bamouns. Indeed, the word Nguon means paying tribute to the owner of the land being cultivated. This famous event is a conference of the sovereign people before the KU-Mutngu (spears of justice carried by members of the secret society), a manifestation of active democracy, as it is the only time when the king is judged before all by his notables. It’s a grandiose festival that perpetuates Bamoun traditions and is an international attraction.
