This festival is the celebration of Osa and Olokun. Osa and Olokun are the wives of Oduduwa. Olokun is the first wife of Oduduwa and did not have any children. Because of her childlessness she advised Oduduwa to marry another wife. This second wife is Osa.
During this festival the children of the King wear the Agbon. Also in this celebration all of the children of the Araba and Awos wear the Agbon. All of children and their parents march through the streets of Ile Ife to the shrine of the Osara. There is much drumming, singing and dance.
During this festival rain is suppose to fall. True to form the rain fell on this day! It rained and rained, and the festival continued.
