Every August, lots of people from around the world throng to Osun State, Nigeria, to attend and participate in the Osun-Osogbo Festival. It is held at the illustrious and sacred Osun Grove. Although a sizable number of the participants are Osun indigenes, the festival has, over the years, morphed into an international event that attracts the attention of tourists and visitors from other parts of the world.
