The Ojude Oba Festival is a grand, vibrant cultural and spiritual celebration held annually in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, Southwestern Nigeria, traditionally taking place on the third day after Eid al-Kabir (Eid al-Adha).

The festival's name translates literally to "The King's Forecourt" or "Majestic Outing" in the Yoruba language. It serves as a major display of heritage, fashion, and unity where the sons and daughters of Ijebuland gather to pay homage to their paramount ruler, the Awujale of Ijebuland.
