The countdown to the Seventh (7th) edition of the much anticipated culinary festival in Nigeria and Africa at large has begun.
The GTCO Food and Drink Festival is widely regarded as the largest food and drink festival on the continent, bringing millions of food enthusiasts and entrepreneurs in a dynamic celebration of flavours, scents, and cultures that honour Africa’s rich and varied culinary tradition.
Through the duration of the three days, guests will be treated to a wide variety of delicious culinary services, ranging from creative global fusion cuisines to classic African food. The festival will also have hundreds of food entrepreneurs displaying an extensive variety of appetizing goods, live culinary demos, and tasting sessions.
Talking about the 2024 GTCO Food and Drink Festival, the Group Chief Executive Officer of Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc, Segun Agbaje, said, “We are delighted to bring to our customers, exhibitors, and food lovers from across Africa and beyond, another edition of an event that is a celebration of not just food, but of the rich tapestry of cultures and traditions that make African cuisine so unique. Our vision for curating this consumer-focused event is unchanging, particularly in light of the pressures that individuals and businesses are facing at this time. We hope to consistently create memorable moments for everyone, whilst providing a free, vibrant, and commercially viable platform for small food businesses in Nigeria to grow and thrive.”
The GTCO Food and Drink Festival is widely recognized for its family-friendly atmosphere in addition to its gastronomic options. The festival will be a memorable occasion for the whole family thanks to the organizers’ careful selection of kid-friendly events this year. The little ones will be occupied with games, interactive displays, and other activities in a specially created play area. A brand-new, exciting addition to the fair will be a children’s baking workshop. This will provide young, budding cooks a fantastic chance to learn about the pleasures of baking while also encouraging their creativity and self-assurance in the kitchen. In an enjoyable and encouraging setting, kids can let out their inner chef and learn essential cooking skills by creating their own special delicacies or decorating cupcakes and more.
