Nine [[Antambahoaka]] clans live around Mananjary, which make up the smallest tribal group in Madagascar. Approximately every seven years the clans gather in the town for a week-long mass-circumcision ceremony called ''sambatra''. Various Malagasy traditions are then performed, such as [[zebu]] sacrification, whereby one zebu is killed for each clan. The last sambatra event took place in October 2007.
There is a popular nighclub in town the called ''Palace Nightclub''.
At weekends a lively fishmarket event takes place at the mouth of the river when the fishermen sell their catch from their pirogues they pull up on the shore.
Manajary can be reached by road via [[Ranomafana]] and there is also a domenstic airport served by flights once or twice a monthly by [[Air Madagascar]]
