Food and Cultural Festival – Akwa Ibom H3
The Akwa Ibom Food & Cultural Festival was conceived in 2023 by Run-Away Clit, who at the time served as the Religious Adviser (RA) of Akwa Ibom Hash House Harriers (AKWA IBOM H3).
The idea behind the festival was to create a unique platform where the Hash community could come together to celebrate the rich food, culture, traditions and hospitality of Akwa Ibom State, while strengthening friendship and camaraderie among Hash House Harriers.
The maiden edition was held on the 5th-7th May 2023 at South Hill Hotel Ikot Ekpene. Attended by over 100 hashers from various cities including Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Warri, etc marking the beginning of what has become an annual celebration.
Following the success of the first edition, the festival continued in 2024, 2025 and 2026, making the 2026 edition the fourth edition of the Akwa Ibom Food & Cultural Festival.
Over the years, the festival has brought together Hashers, friends and visitors from different parts of Nigeria and beyond. It provides an opportunity to showcase the diverse cuisine, traditional delicacies, cultural attire, music, dance and customs of Akwa Ibom, while giving participants an authentic taste of the state’s warmth and hospitality.
In keeping with the spirit of the Hash House Harriers, the festival combines running, friendship, food, drinks, fun and cultural celebration. It has consequently become an important social and cultural gathering within the Nigerian Hash community.
From a vision conceived in 2023, to its fourth edition in 2026, the Akwa Ibom Food & Cultural Festival continues to celebrate the simple but powerful idea that food and culture bring people together.
