Ososo Carnival is a cultural event held annually to showcase the cultural heritage, traditions and tourism potentials of Ososo in Akoko-Edo local government area of Edo State.

The Carnival is a complete package of leisure events which includes street dance, parade of costumes, arena based performances, beauty pageant, musical funfairs, bonfire, cultural display, art and fashion exhibitions, visual creativity and sporting activities.

These events are reminiscent of the rich culture, vast tourism potentials, hospitality and peace-loving nature of the Ososo people who are inexplicably obsessed and passionate about their community and natural environmental endowments. There is no denying the fact that there is an intrinsic connection between the Ososo man and the elements that drive the carnival.
