Origins Winter Marrakech: Date, Time and Place

The event is listed for Saturday 26 December 2026, the day after Christmas Day. No cancellation or change of date appears on the ticket page on 2 November 2026.

The ticket page gives the start as 19:00, which is 7 pm. One other event listing says 8 pm, so confirm the time with the organiser before you plan your evening.

Marrakech is a city in central Morocco with an old walled town, the medina. The exact venue is not public, and the ticket page promises a reveal later.

Who Is Behind Origins Winter

The ticket page names A & P Event as the organiser and lists Origins Winter 2026 as a festival. It describes the night as the next Origins experience.

The organiser’s own website, origins-festival.com, carries a Book Now button that leads to the same ticket page. The venue announcement is to appear on that ticket page, so check it again closer to the date.

Tickets and Prices

The Blind Pass is general admission and costs MAD 450 (about US$46), the lowest price on offer. The organiser limits it to 300 tickets.

Two bundles, Blind Couple for two people and Blind Crew for five, show as sold out. Their prices are not published on the page.

Once the first tickets sell out, the organiser says Phase 1 goes on sale at MAD 600 (about US$61). The ticket page gives an overall range of MAD 450 to MAD 1,500 (about US$152).

The page lists payment by card and in cash. Dollar figures use the rate of 9.84 dirhams to the US dollar on 2 November 2026.

What Is Not Known

The lineup is not announced, and the ticket page says only that there is no lineup yet. The age limit, the capacity and the venue are also not published.

Whether Phase 1 has opened is not stated, and the tiers between MAD 600 and MAD 1,500 are not named. Booking fees and what each tier includes are not stated either.

What It Means for You

Blind Pass buyers pay before the organiser names a venue or any artist. Waiting for the lineup is possible, but the ticket page says the price rises to MAD 600 (about US$61) once the first tickets sell out.

Travellers should use the eligibility check on Morocco’s official visa portal to see whether their passport needs a visa. Flexible hotel bookings make sense until the venue is known.

The date falls the day after Christmas, so flights and rooms in Marrakech may be harder to find. Plan your ride home once the venue is public.
