Benin National Voodoo Day celebrates Vodun as an important spiritual and cultural tradition in Benin. Centred especially in Ouidah, the day brings together practitioners through ceremonies, music, dance and community gatherings that honour ancestral beliefs. It also helps preserve Vodun heritage and introduces visitors to the spiritual practices, artistry and history surrounding the tradition.
