Voodoo ceremony in the Sacred Forest of Kpassè during the Voodoo Festival (Benin). The Benin Voodoo Festival is an annual event held on January 10th in Benin, West Africa. Recognized as a national holiday since 1996, the festival celebrates the nation's rich history and the prominence of Voodoo as a government-recognized religion. The city of Ouidah, often referred to as a mecca of gods and spirits, serves as the epicenter of the festivities. The celebration features a vibrant mix of tourism and religion, showcasing the adaptability of ancient traditional beliefs in modern life. The festival includes a variety of activities such as ceremonies, concerts, and exhibitions, all aimed at dispelling misconceptions and negative stereotypes about Voodoo. The Benin Voodoo Festival offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the country's cultural heritage, providing insights into the spiritual practices that have shaped its history.

In Benin in general and at the voodoo festival in particular, the atmosphere is for the most part quiet and welcoming.
Most people, however, are not very helpful with photographers even if it depends a lot on the type of approach you have with them. As always, the atmosphere is all the better the further away you are from the main urban centers.
