Event Description

This summer is about to be lit!! NYC! Mark your calendars and get your taste buds ready!! Your favorite Afrobeats Block Party & Jollof Cook-Off is back this summer!! We’re taking Afrobeats & popular African culture to the streets of New York. Get ready for a total Afrobeats takeover at this festive block party and jollof cook-off.

One of the biggest sold-out and most talked about Afrobeats events of 2024, the Block Party is an Afrobeats music & food Festival combined into 7 hours of cultural immersion and pure lituation that puts the vibrancy and diversity of African cultures on full display!!

The event features a super-lit Afrobeats day party with 5 top DJs, popup shop with several retail & food vendors, Afro-Caribbean food market, and a blind tasting 6 country Jollof cook-off to settle the popular and never-ending West African Jollof war.

Step outside and join the fun in NYC for the biggest block party of the year! You asked for it, and we're delivering. Don't miss out– grab your tickets now before it's too late!

Jollof Cook-Off
Which country really has the best Jollof? Is it Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Cameroon or Guinea? Don’t believe the hype!! Come and taste for yourself and cast your vote for the country with the best jollof!!
The Jollof rivalry between these West African countries is no secret. If you have a West African friend, chances are you have had a jollof dish presented with a hefty serving of trash talk. But is this never-ending culinary war really over-taste, or is it a sheer display of patriotism and national pride? Let’s determine once again, which country has the best at the 2024 NYC Afrobeats Block Party and Jolloff Cook-Off.
Get your tickets now. It’s all going down outdoors at the Brooklyn Monarch on Saturday, September 14th.
