"Held every year in a sacred forest on the outskirts of the southern Nigerian
city of Osogbo, the Osun-Osogbo Festival is a two-week-long
celebration of the Yoruba river goddess Oshun. The festival,
which begins with a traditional cleansing of the town (Iwopopo) and ends in a
procession of the people to the Osun-Osogbo sacred grove, attracts attendees
from all over the globe."
