​In Yoruba land, every year on August 20th commemorates the celebration of our ancestral culture and heritage. In order to preserve our rooted connections to our mothers and fathers, we come together and showcase the origins , history, sociology, culture, and legacy of Ifa/Orisa tradition. Through drum, dance, theater, poetry, prayer, and more, devotees witness an array of entertaining representations of our culture and spirituality.
