Bujlood () or Bilmawen (, ) is a folk Amazigh celebration observed annually after Eid al-Adha in parts of Morocco in which one person or more wears the pelt of the livestock sacrificed on Eid al-Adha.

== Etymology == The term Bujlood comes from the Arabic (meaning father, or possessor) and (plural of jild , meaning skin, leather, or pelt), so means father or possessor of skins.
