Qualitative approach was used to describe the activities of the celebration. A participant observation, interview and questionnaire techniques were used to identify the major artforms. The main artforms showcased in the celebration of the festival were visual and performing arts. The results indicated the following credibility of knowledge of the Agbeliza celebration; 70% identified various art forms but did not understand them, 11.5% identified some and gave their own meanings and, 18.5% could not identify but saw them as something needed to enhance the celebration.
