Ibadan is set to relive its royalty, culture, and culinary pride as the Ibadan Agbole Tour officially presents one of the most culturally immersive experiences of the year — “Trip to Irefin Palace and Amala Hangout (Amala Museum)”, holding on February 7th, 2026, at the historic National Museum of Unity, Ibadan.
This is not just a tour.
This is heritage in motion, culture on display, and amala served with history.
Bringing together tourism, tradition, food culture, and entertainment in one unforgettable experience, the Trip to Irefin Palace and Amala Hangout is designed to reconnect Nigerians—especially the youth and diaspora—with the roots of Ibadan’s rich civilization.
A Royal Journey into Ibadan’s Soul
At the heart of this experience is a guided cultural exploration of Irefin Palace, one of Ibadan’s most historically significant royal sites. Participants will gain rare access to stories, symbols, and spaces that shaped Ibadan’s political and cultural evolution, offering a deeper appreciation of Yoruba heritage beyond textbooks and social media snippets.
The tour is carefully curated to educate, inspire, and preserve history, aligning with broader cultural preservation efforts supported by the Oyo State Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
The Amala Museum: Where Food Meets Identity
Culture is incomplete without food—and Ibadan’s identity is inseparable from amala.
The Amala Hangout (Amala Museum) segment of the event celebrates the iconic Yoruba delicacy as more than a meal, but a cultural symbol. Attendees will experience amala in its most authentic form, served with traditional soups that carry generations of history, technique, and communal pride.
This segment is designed as both a social hangout and a cultural exhibition, spotlighting indigenous cuisine as a powerful tourism asset.
Entertainment, Games & Souvenirs
Beyond history and food, the event promises a lively atmosphere featuring:
Entertainment and traditional games
Cultural interactions and social bonding
Souvenirs and memorabilia that reflect Ibadan’s heritage and artistic expression
It is an all-round experience tailored for tourists, creatives, culture lovers, students, families, and anyone passionate about Nigerian identity.
Culture as a Tool for Unity
Hosted at the National Museum of Unity, the event underscores culture as a bridge for national cohesion, storytelling, and pride. It reinforces the idea that tourism, when done intentionally, can drive unity, economic opportunity, and cultural preservation.

The organizers are currently welcoming sponsorships, partnerships, and institutional support from brands, organizations, and stakeholders passionate about culture, tourism, and youth engagement.
