Lagos is heating up for a celebration of flavor, culture, and community as celebrity chef Hilda Baci leads the much-anticipated World Jollof Day Event. Olorisupergal Media has confirmed that they will be going live from the venue, giving fans across the country and beyond an up-close look at the atmosphere, the record attempt, and the countless moments that will make this celebration one to remember.

The excitement surrounding the event is undeniable. Verified reports show that more than 20,000 people have already registered to be part of what is shaping up to be a historic day for Nigerian food culture. The highlight of the gathering will be Hilda Baci’s attempt to cook the world’s largest pot of jollof rice, a feat that combines culinary skill with a celebration of national pride. This record attempt is not only about the numbers but about spotlighting jollof rice as a dish that unites people across communities.

The event was initially scheduled to hold at Muri Okunola Park, Victoria Island, but the overwhelming number of registrations led to a change of venue. It will now take place at Eko Hotel Car Park B in Victoria Island, Lagos, which has the capacity to host the thousands of attendees expected. The date and time remain unchanged, with the festival starting today, Friday, September 12, 2025, at 9 am. Organizers have also confirmed that the entire event is free of charge, from registration to enjoying the servings of jollof rice prepared on site.

Beyond the record-breaking pot, the day promises to deliver a rich mix of food exhibitions, cultural showcases, and live entertainment.
