WeLovEya Festival

The WeLovEya Festival is held in Cotonou, Benin, usually in late December at Place de l'Amazone. Launched in 2022 by Lionel Talon and the Eya cultural and sports centre, it has become the country's biggest urban music and afrobeats festival, bringing together homegrown talent and international headliners. Beyond the music, it carries a strong community focus, with free tickets earned through local civic actions and proceeds funneled into social projects.
