Wikipedia's article on the Fete du Vodoun is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication. It is reliable for a general overview of the annual festival held at Ouidah, and less reliable for evaluating the deeper religious significance of specific rites observed there, which is closed practice in many respects. Use it for basic public facts about the festival; a claim about specific ceremonial content is not drawn from it here.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability TierWikipedia's article on the Fete du Vodoun, the annual Vodun festival held at Ouidah, Benin, the lower tier reflecting that it is a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, useful for a general overview of the festival rather than a substitute for a dedicated ethnographic study of Beninese Vodun. NotesCrowd-sourced tertiary reference. Used here only for the plain, checkable civic facts that Benin's government formally recognized Vodun as an official religion on January 10, 1996, declared that date a national holiday observed annually since, and centers the largest public observance at Ouidah, all matters of state and press record rather than any closed practice. 1 Citation
