Eat your way across Ikare-Akoko in Ondo State of Nigeria with these tasty festival that celebrate the best food and culture, the true Ondo has to offer.

Ikare-Akoko is a town in Oil rich, Ondo State in South Western Nigeria but most of the time referred to as Ikare. The town has a rich cultural heritage with exciting festivals every year but the one that caught our attention is the popular new yam festival. It is the chief festival in Ikare which is celebrated every June 20.

Ikare is about 100 km from Akure, the Ondo State capital. The city was the divisional headquarters of the old Akoko Division, comprising Oka-Akoko, Isua-Akoko, Okeagbe-Akoko etc. Based on the local government system now practiced in Nigeria, the city is currently the headquarters of Akoko North-East Local Government and it is a trading point for the production of Cocoa in the surrounding area. In addition to the new yam festival, Ikare-Akoko is famous throughout West Africa for its decorative pottery.

One of the rich cultural heritages which are usually celebrated every June 20 is the popular new yam festival. On this day, Ikare sons and daughters both home and abroad come together to celebrate what is usually termed the starting point of a new year for Ikare land.
