The Battle of Jollof taps into the decades-long, playful rivalry between West African countries, transforming friendly competition into a powerful celebration of culture. More than just a basketball game, it’s an experience where sport, food, and identity come together, creating a vibrant atomosphere that unifies the diaspora.
Each year, the event offers an unforgettable experience that blends tradition, pride, and connection. The event includes several activations and activities that include:
- Ghana v. Nigeria Basketball Game
- A Jollof Cook Off from West African Vendors
- Live Celebrations + Performances
- Open Bar + more!
It's not just about rivalry--it's about celebrating our culture, bringing people together, and creating the space where community thrives. So with that, what country are you repping this year?
