London will host the 2026 edition of the Edo Festival and Awards from November 20 to 22, with organisers positioning the three-day international gathering as a platform for promoting Edo heritage, attracting investment and strengthening ties among Edo people across Nigeria and the diaspora. The event, themed 'Celebrating Our Heritage. Honouring Excellence. Building Unity,' is expected to bring together Edo indigenes and friends of Edo State from the United Kingdom, Nigeria and other parts of the world, including traditional rulers, business leaders, professionals, artists, entertainers and community leaders. The festival is convened by Ambassador Ken Odeh, founder of the Edo Festival and Awards and Chief Executive Officer of JJ Barry Conglomerate. Odeh established the initiative in 2011 to promote Edo culture.
