Nonso Iwuh started the Bole Festival in 2016 with the desire to showcase the history and way of life of the South. Despite inclement weather, Bole Festival 2022 attracted more than 28,000 visitors over two days, with over 100 vendors from across Nigeria. In this situation, We Pin!, a common Port Harcourt slang expression meaning “we don’t move”, was used.
Bolè founder and creative director Nonso Iwuh says the 2022 event will be the festival’s sixth and largest iteration. I am grateful to the team of smart, dedicated and dedicated young minds. It’s amazing how the Bole Festival has evolved over the years.
Our Bolè BFFs (attendees and supporters) are our greatest inspiration and we thank them for their trust in us and their support.
The theme of this year’s festival was “level up”. It represents how we have improved standards, resilience and the festival experience despite the setback of the pandemic.
“Our identity and message at Bole Festival is firmly rooted in food, culture and community. Now we are able to bring together thousands of foodies, brands and businesses each year to celebrate our unique street food culture. Elsie Alacia, marketing and communications lead for Bole Festival.
