How To Know When Eyo Festival Will Takeplace (Order of Events)

 

A full week before the festival (always a Sunday), the ‘senior’ Eyo group, the Adimu (identified by a black, broad-rimmed hat), goes public with a staff. When this happens, it means the event will take place on the following Saturday. Each of the four other ‘important’ groups — Laba (Red), Oniko (yellow), Ologede (Green) and Agere (Purple) — take their turns in that order from Monday to Thursday.
