Saint Sylvestre is not a Moroccan 'saint' (marabout) and the New Year is not the occasion for major festivities in Morocco. But it is a public holiday.

There are two, perhaps three, New Years in Morocco. The calendar, on 1 January, which marks the start of the Muslim year, and the Berber calendar, based on the Julian calendar.
