In the High Eastern Atlas mountains of Morocco every year there is a traditional celebration commonly known as Imilchil Moussem. The word moussem refers to a collective pilgrimage around the tomb of a saint which people practice regularly at a specific time of year. The one which takes place in the village called Imilchil has undergone a series of transformations over the years. These changes are connected not only to the power relations of this Berber region, but also to the increased amount of tour- ists coming to this area. It is these connections we attempt to analyse in this article.
