The essence of the festival lies in fostering community bonds and gratitude. On Tobaski, everyone wears their beautifully crafted African robes, called "Boubou," symbolizing renewal and hope. Despite the financial challenges faced by many, families generously share the finest portions of lamb with neighbors, reflecting the Islamic teaching of giving and helping those in need. This heartfelt tradition highlights the richness of Gambian culture and its values of unity and compassion.
Tobaski, also known as Eid al-Adha, is a cherished traditional celebration in Gambia, akin to Taiwan's Lunar New Year. It is a time for family reunions and prayers for good fortune in the coming year.
