Ékààbọ́ (Welcome) Culture Enthusiast! 

We are thrilled to extend an exclusive invitation for you to join the Ladekoju Osun Festival Immersion, promising an unforgettable traditional cultural experience that will last a lifetime. 

History of the Osun Festival 

The Osun festival in Osogbo, Nigeria, is renowned globally for its cultural significance and grandeur. Rooted in Yoruba culture, the festival honors Osun, the goddess of the Osun River, through sacred rituals and secular traditions. The festival’s origins are traced to the settlement of Osogbo’s ancestors, who appeased Osun after a magnificent encounter, leading to an annual celebration to renew their agreement with the goddess. 

Traditional events like the lighting of the sixteen-point lamp and the procession to the Osun grove are reenactments of historical events, preserving the town’s history for future generations. The festival culminates with the Ataoja symbolically feeding the goddess, which confers a blessing on the river’s waters, followed by festivities throughout Osogbo town.
