The organizers expect thousands of attendees including youths, young professionals, returning indigenes, tourists, and entertainment lovers. They’re promising three days of live performances, cultural displays, networking, and premium consumer experiences.
Ijebu-Ode, known as the commercial and social hub of Ijebuland, was chosen for its central location, strong hospitality infrastructure, and cultural influence. It’s positioned to draw visitors from across the country during the holiday season.
Beyond entertainment, Ijebu Detty December is designed as an annual homecoming celebration. The goal is to spotlight Ijebuland’s hospitality, culture, creativity, and business spirit while creating opportunities for local vendors, creatives, hotels, and other stakeholders.
The lineup will include live music, celebrity appearances, DJs, comedy, cultural exhibitions, food and fashion showcases, gaming, lifestyle activities, and interactive brand experiences.
Speaking on the project, Otunba Jide Fowode, MD/CXO of Festival Managers Africa International Limited, said:
“Ijebu Detty December is a strategic entertainment and lifestyle platform built to create a signature December destination in Ijebuland while delivering real value for brands, businesses, and the local economy.
“By blending entertainment, culture, consumer engagement, and tourism, the festival gives sponsors a chance to reach a vibrant audience, boost visibility, and become part of a new December tradition that will last in Ijebuland.”
