In July and August, the International Culture Centre gets much livelier when the beautiful grounds of the villa are the setting of an international festival of films show, music, and drama; namely Hammamet annual International Cultural Festival. A Greek-styled theater was built in 1964 for the purposes of the festival. The festival features Tunisian and Algerian musicians as well as international stars from everywhere; from Ireland to Mali. If you wish to get the program and tickets, you can go to the tourist office or simple try to get some at the door.
