The cultural diversity and collective heritage of the local people in Rivers state is firmly rooted at the core of tourism.

Widely celebrated as the largest food-and-culture festival in the Niger Delta region.

The high-energy event features hundreds of local food vendors, culinary masterclasses, street-style games, and massive live music performances by top Nigerian Afrobeats and highlife artists.
