This positive vision has brought about and caused the development of cultural events, which today, are considered among the most important and most recognised on the African continent. Thus, one may mention, among others : - The Ouagadougou Pan-African Film and Television Festival (FESPACO); The National Cultural Week (SNC) ; The Laongo Granite Sculpture Symposium ; The Ouagadougou International Arts and Crafts Fair (SIAO) ; The Ouagadougou International Tourism and Hospitality Fair (SITHO) ; The Atypical Nights of Koudougou (NAK). 207. In addition to these major international events, there are also more than a hundred other cultural events which mark the cultural life of Burkina Faso every year.
