The Ofada Rice Day Festival is an annual celebration convened by Oyinda and Oluwatobi “Ofadaboy” Fletcher to elevate the story of Ofada rice, showcasing its heritage and unique flavors with a global audience. Since its start in 2019, this vibrant event has become a showcase of African cuisine, blending authentic flavors from diverse cultures.
Festival-goers can indulge in various Ofada rice dishes made with grains sourced from Iperu, Shagamu, Lagos, and Abeokuta. The experience is enriched with traditional African drum beats, like tungba and bata, and other lively attractions.
Supported by the Lagos State Ministry of Agriculture and Food Systems and endorsed by the Federal Ministry of Arts and Culture, the festival aims to promote food security, health, agricultural prosperity, and Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage. At its heart, the festival aspires to make Ofada rice a globally recognized delight.
