The Kayo-Kayo Festival is an annual religious and cultural event held by the descendants of Oba Kosoko in Epe, Lagos State.

Commemorating the historical arrival of King Kosoko in 1851, the festival’s name translates to “eating to satisfaction” and is well-known within the Epe community.

Over time, the Kayo-Kayo Festival has evolved into a platform that not only celebrates the rich cultural heritage of the Epe community but also encourages discussions on socio-economic challenges and promotes local economic development.
