Camel Festival

For many centuries, the two humped Bactrian camel has been an essential source of survival for nomads living in the Mongolian Gobi. Beginning over a decade ago, each year the Camel festival is held in Bulgan County to celebrate this unique animal and their connection with the Mongol herders who depend on them. There are many events organized such as camel polo and camel racing. There is also a sort of "Camel Fashion Show" in which locals dressed in fine traditional clothing proudly parade while riding their camels. The festival also includes displays of camel products and musical performances.
