The Sakaraboutou is the Dyula counterpart to the Kulango Bedu — a noisy, colourful parade through Bondoukou's Muslim quarter, usually held just after the end of Ramadan. Young men in costume, sometimes blackened with charcoal, sometimes painted, run through the streets shouting and brandishing weapons in stylised combat.
The carnival is a community affair rather than a tourist event, and outsiders are welcome to watch from the side. The best vantage points are around the Grand Mosque and the central market square.
