The Jollof Cook-Off Experience
(Jollof Tasting & Voting)
5:00PM - 8:00PM (3 Hours)
We’ve taken the famed “Jollof War” and transformed it into the ultimate high-stakes blind tasting showdown—where bragging rights, national pride, and the prestigious title of Jollof King hang in the balance...And the power? It’s entirely in your hands.
Taste your way through 5 countries, one spoonful at a time — without knowing whose Jollof you’re eating. Each sample is served in a color-coded cup to keep it fair and fun.
Starting at 5PM, you’ll receive your samples and a voting card with a QR code.
Vote for the color of the cup that holds your favorite Jollof.
Voting ends at 8PM, and the winner will be revealed at 9PM on the main stage.
Let the rice wars begin — may the best Jollof win!

1. Ghana - Represented By Jollof Heaven
