Bring your appetite and sweet tooth to the Ikore Festival, a farm-to-table celebration of Black food, cooks, and farmers. Using fresh produce and ingredients grown by Black farmers, participants will whip up delectable dishes for sampling and judging. Grab a plate, chat with a farmer about seasonal gardening, then cast your vote for best in show for savory, desserts, and grill. The harvest festival (Ikore means harvest in Yoruban) draws influence from similar celebrations held throughout the African continent to celebrate gathered crops.
