About the Festival

The Oyo State Countdown Festival is a bold celebration of unity, heritage, and the limitless spirit of our people. As we close the year and embrace 2026, we gather across historic cities to honour our roots, amplify our culture, and welcome a new dawn under the visionary leadership of His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde.

Rooted in tradition and elevated by modern artistry, this two-day celebration offers a unique blend of local flavor and national pride, from the towns of Iseyin and Ogbomosho to the heartbeat of the capital, Ibadan.
