here are religious and social festivals celebrated by the people of Balochistan. Two major religious festivals are Eid-ul-Azha and Eid-ul-Fiter. On these festivals people adorn their houses, wear new dresses, cook special dishes and visit each other. Eid-Meladun-Nabi
is another religious festival. It is a celebration of the Holy
Prophet’s birthday. Numerous colorful social festivals are also source
of jubilation. Sibi festival that traces its roots to Mehergar,
an archeological site of ancient human civilization, attracts people
from across the country. It is attended by common folks, ministers and
other government officials. Folk music performance, cultural dances,
handicrafts stalls, cattle shows and a number of other amusing
activities present a perfect riot of color. Buzkashi is a peculiar festival showing valour of Balochistan people. It is celebrated on horse-back by two teams that use their skills to snatch a goat from the each other.
