Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Youth festivals have emerged as significant platforms for talent discovery and development, providing young people with opportunities to showcase their abilities in various fields, including music, art, sports, and entrepreneurship. In Ilorin South Local Government Area, Kwara State, youth festivals are increasingly recognized as catalysts for nurturing talent and fostering personal and professional growth. These events bring together young people, industry stakeholders, and audiences, creating a vibrant environment for networking and skill enhancement. Furthermore, youth festivals contribute to community development by encouraging creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship among participants (Ahmed & Ojo, 2024).
