Our Mission

The Jollof Festival celebrates the rich culinary heritage of West African cuisine through the lens of one of its most iconic dishes - Jollof rice. Our mission is to promote African food culture, foster cultural exchange, and create a platform for African chefs and restaurants to showcase their talents.

What began as a friendly competition between Nigeria and Ghana has grown into a continental celebration that spans multiple cities across the United States and beyond, bringing together thousands of food enthusiasts annually.

Through our festivals, we aim to educate, entertain, and unite people through the universal language of food while promoting African businesses and supporting local communities.
