Eyo Festival is a Yoruba Festival unique to Lagos and possesses a powerful historical footing in Iperu-Remo, a town in Ikenne Local Government, Ogun State. It is currently seen as a tourist event by Lagosians; and traditionally performed in Lagos Island.
The word ‘Eyo’ means costumed dancers, known as masquerades, that show themselves during the Festival.
