Last checked October 17, 2026 against en.villedesale.ma. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.
Notes from the last check
The commune of Salé's own pages confirm the candle procession is held on a Hijri rule (11 Rabi' al-Awwal) and that the 2026 edition took place on 24 August 2026, but no official Gregorian date for 2027 was found, so the next edition is recorded as expected with no dates.
