Gauging interestMusic festival Oabba Presents

Jollof & Fellowship

Houston, TX. West African food, gospel and Afro-gospel music, and a very long table. The venue is chosen by the people coming.

Tickets go on sale if enough people say they want to come.

About

Food, music and fellowship, built around jollof and the argument about who makes it best. West African food vendors and chef activations, a community marketplace, family programming through the afternoon, and a music bill running from gospel to Afro-gospel into the evening. The whole thing is organised around the table. Come hungry, come with people, and expect to end up eating next to someone you have not met.

Why this is a Christian event

Table fellowship as a Christian practice, not a theme. The day is built around eating together across churches and nationalities, with gospel and Afro-gospel music, thanksgiving and prayer through the programme, and a deliberate effort to seat strangers together. The point is the hospitality Christians are supposed to be known for, at the scale of a festival.

Your card is not charged while an event is gauging interest or holding reservations. If the event does not reach its target, or oabba cancels it, your reservation is released and you are charged nothing. Once the venue and date are confirmed and your card is charged, you can request a full refund up to 30 days before the event, and a 50% refund up to 7 days before. Inside 7 days tickets are non-refundable, but they are transferable — you can pass yours to someone else from your ticket page. If we move the date or the venue after you have been charged, you can have a full refund regardless of timing.
