Iganar is a major destination and producer of music in Packilvania. It is home to the largest music and art festival in the country, the ''luJublafiya aluOstiqa aluKhayas'' (the Desert Fire Celebration) which attracts over 2 million people annually with several days of camping, playing of music, dancing, and displays of art especially a monumental sculpture made of wood that us burnt to mark the end of the festival. By Packilvanian standards, festivals in Iganar have been criticised by conservative commentators as places of "excess, modernity and debauchery" while being lauded by the youth and international critics as enabling a "rare outlet for self expression and ecstasy". Iganar is the home of prolific musicians such as Nawahad, Bajhar Akhnoud, Ladween Yuber and others who composed for royalty and whose hymns still comprise the Paxist liturgy centuries after they were written. The province is also home to the prestigious Princess Jabraya Conservatory of Classical Art and Calligraphy at the University of Qayeer which preserve the art forms of calligraphy and traditional painting that have been invented in Iganar and spread throughout the country.
