TOPSHOT - Masks from Burkina Faso parade during the grand procession of traditional masks in Porto-Novo on August 4, 2024. The Porto-Novo Mask Festival, which was held over three days, was created at the initiative of the Beninese government and the municipality, to replace the Porto-Novo International Festival usually held in January. During this new event, dozens of people wearing different masks from all over the country paraded, but also others from Togo and Burkina Faso were also exhibited on the main avenue of the city.
