In person

Tradition and folklore say that bathing on August 29 scares away demons and counts as twenty-nine baths. Its origins are uncertain, possibly stemming from ancient times related to end-of-summer rites or from Arab heritage. The event is currently one of the most popular traditions in Lagos and a reason for a grand celebration.
