Food is a universal language that can transcend boundaries and bring people together, no matter their background or culture. It’s amazing how a simple meal can create a sense of community and understanding, even between people who might not have anything in common. Food truly is a powerful force for connection and communication. Food is more than just sustenance, it’s a way of preserving and sharing culture.
In Africa, food is a big part of our culture and traditions. Different tribes and nationalities have recipes and dishes attached to their identities, some even approach the same dishes in different ways. A case in point is the continuous battle between Nigerian and Ghanaian Jollof. Food is a big deal in this part of the world, and so are food festivals.
I’ve compiled a list of food festivals that all foodies, from chefs to eaters should look out for in 2024!
Food and Beverage West Africa
This is the largest exhibition dedicated to the Food and Beverage Industry in Africa and it will feature food and drink vendors from all over the continent, including Egypt, Botswana, Mali, Ghana and many others.
If you love food or you just love trying new cuisines then you should probably not miss this event. You can get to sample different recipes, drinks and dishes from different nationalities.
Taking place at the Landmark Event Centre, Victoria Island Lagos, the exhibition would last from the 11th to 13th of June, 2024 and is set to host over 250 exhibitors and over 5000 trade professionals. This is the largest exhibition on the African continent dedicated to the Food and Beverage Industry

This festival is aimed at creating an atmosphere of fun, relaxation and mouth-watering dishes where bikers and non-bikers alike can come together and appreciate the beauty and camaraderie of the biking community.
On August 4, 2024, The BAD Gang bikers group will be hosting the 6th edition of this event. An opportunity for non-bikers to interact with the biking community, ‘it helps showcase the culinary excellence exuded by African food vendors as well as showcasing some of the most beautiful bikes in Africa’.

Bole Festival
Bole Festival is a food-meet-fun event, bringing lovers of roasted/grilled plantain together from all over the country in honour of this mouth-watering street food known as bole. It is the most popular street delicacy in Port Harcourt. Bole has been a source of delight for the culinary senses of indigenes and non-indigenes alike with its greasy, spicy and smokey goodness.
