The week
ends
dancing.

Sunday 10 January 2027, in the evening, in a palace of Ouidah: the traditional troupes, a DJ, the barbecue. Entry at 2,500 FCFA, and two options for those who want more.

By , ONG Wa Afriki · · 2 min read

After a week of ceremonies, you need a party. Not a hotel evening: a real one, in a palace, with the troupes of the town and the people of Ouidah around you.

Vodun Vibes is the evening that closes the After Party Exclusive. During the day, we entered the royal palaces. In the evening, the masks come out, and everybody dances.

It is open to all. You do not need to have followed the programme to come: the entry ticket is 2,500 FCFA, precisely so that Ouidah is there.

What you will see that evening

Masks in embroidered costumes, during a traditional celebration in Benin
  • The traditional dance troupes: Guèlèdè, Bourian, Kaléta, the Hunters.
  • A DJ and a sound system, so the night goes on after the troupes.
  • The closing barbecue.
  • It is the party that closes the After Party Exclusive, after the day in the royal palaces.
When:
Sunday 10 January 2027, in the evening.
Where:
In a palace of Ouidah.
With:
The traditional troupes of Ouidah and a DJ.

What we really offer: to celebrate with Ouidah, not beside it

The Guèlèdè, the Bourian, the Kaléta, the Hunters: these are not show numbers staged for visitors. They are the troupes of the town, before their own public.

You are in the courtyard with the families, not in a separate stand. You are told what is coming out, you are introduced, and at some point you dance too.
