The Marula Festival is an annual celebration in Eswatini (Swaziland) that honors the marula fruit, which holds great cultural significance in the country. The event marks the beginning of the marula fruit harvest season and is a time for the Swazi people to give thanks to the ancestors through traditional song, dance, and feasting. The highlight of the Marula Festival is the sharing and consumption of a locally brewed marula beer known as 'buganu'.
