The Firewood Jollof Festival wasn’t just a food fest, it was a fashion moment in its own right. Held on Saturday, November 30th, 2024, at Muri Okunola Park in Victoria Island, the event was a vibrant celebration of Nigerian jollof rice, complete with live music, giveaways, and an audience that came to serve looks.
Food took centre stage, with a range of Jollof recipes that had attendees vying for the chance to win vouchers for sponsored products. But the style on display was just as enticing. From resort-inspired ensembles to bold mixes of aso oke and modern aesthetics, the crowd brought their fashion A-game.
From the DJ’s sets to live band performances with entertainers like Segun Johnson, whose performance closed the event in owambe style, the Firewood Jollof Festival was reminiscent of everything a food festival should be about. Food, more food, fun, and giveaways.
