Lagos is set to come alive today as celebrity chef Hilda Baci headlines the highly anticipated World Jollof Day Festival, a vibrant celebration of food, culture, and community spirit.
Olorisupergal Media has confirmed live coverage from the venue, giving audiences nationwide and beyond front-row access to the atmosphere, highlights, and record-breaking attempt that promises to define the event.
Excitement is already at a peak, with more than 20,000 people registered to attend.
The centerpiece of the festival will be Hilda Baci’s bold attempt to cook the world’s largest pot of jollof rice—a feat that not only showcases her culinary skill but also underscores jollof rice as a unifying dish across Africa.
Initially billed for Muri Okunola Park, the overwhelming interest has prompted a venue change to the Eko Hotel Car Park B, Victoria Island, which can accommodate the massive turnout.
The festival kicks off today, Friday, September 12, 2025, at 9 a.m., with organizers confirming that attendance and all servings remain completely free.
Beyond the record attempt, the day will feature food exhibitions, cultural showcases, and live performances, offering attendees a full immersion into Nigerian creativity and heritage.
For those unable to attend in person, OSG’s live broadcast will capture every detail—from celebrity appearances to the electric energy of the crowd—ensuring the celebration reaches audiences everywhere.
