The Omo Oduduwa Institute held its annual Egungun Festival, also known as the Heritage Masquerade Festival, in San Juan on July 27 to pay homage to the ancestors of the First Peoples and African people.
As customary, they held a street procession and visited the historic and sacred La Venezuela statue at the Santa Cruz Old Road.
Here are some images of the festival.
