Tunisian Day of National Attire

March 16th each year is The Day of National Attire in Tunisia and a day for celebrating culture through costume.

Dressed in their regional finery, people parade through the streets of town, wearing traditional dress or in outfits from fashion designers, based on traditional costume. Here are some news stories and pictures from previous years about the day, and, for this year's event, have a look at the images on the BBC .
