Uvwie Festival in Effurun/Uvwie

The Uvwie Festival is associated with the Uvwie people, whose traditional area is centered on Effurun in Delta State, part of the wider Urhobo-related cultural family in the Niger Delta. Detailed documentation of this specific festival's programme is limited in accessible sources.

Effurun, now closely linked in everyday life with neighboring Warri, is the traditional home of the Uvwie people, whose local government area sits at the center of one of Delta State's busiest commercial and industrial zones.
