ISARA-REMO — All is set for the official kickoff of the milestone 57th annual Afotamodi Day Festival, as the central planning committee prepares to host a World Press Conference this Saturday, June 13, 2026, in Isara-Remo, Ogun State.
The media briefing will serve as the official launchpad for the historic cultural festival, where organizers are expected to unveil the full itinerary of activities, developmental programs, and logistics mapped out for this year’s edition.
Organized under the royal leadership of His Royal Highness, Alaiyeluwa Oba Peter Oluwole Ogunbayo (Otete III), the Odemo of Isara-Remo, the annual festival remains one of the most enduring cultural institutions in Remoland.
