In 2024, the traditional January 10 Voodoo Festival took on a new dimension, transforming into an international-scale event. The very first edition of the Voodoo Days, held on January 9 and 10, 2024, in Ouidah, the birthplace of this spirituality, gathered nearly 100,000 participants between the historic city and the beach, near the Door of No Return. The following year, in 2025, the event experienced spectacular growth, attracting over 435,000 visitors. Building on these successes, the Vodun Days will make their grand return in 2026, with a new edition scheduled for three days, from January 8 to 10, still in Ouidah. This event, now recognized as the largest global gathering dedicated to Voodoo art, culture, and spirituality, promises once again to be an exceptional celebration.
Vodun Days offers a diverse experience with numerous stands highlighting art, fashion, crafts, culture, spirituality, and many other themes. Visitors will be able to explore a variety of unique creations and discover rich artistic and cultural expressions. A catering area will also offer a selection of dishes and beverages to ensure the comfort of participants throughout the festivities. The entire region will be a true crossroads of discoveries and encounters.
