ODUNDE


ODUNDE is an annual cultural festival held in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. ODUNDE is a Yoruba word that means Happy New Year. The event starts with a procession to the nearby Schuylkill River where folks offer fruits and flowers to Oshun, the goddess of the River and libations to their ancestors. Thousands of people from all over the world gather on 23rd and South to celebrate, shop the African marketplace, dance, eat, listen to music on one of the many stages, drum and enjoy the African vibe.
