2018 Enugu Food Festival

The 2018 edition of Enugu Food Festival was a success in many ways despite some initial logistics challenges by our major sponsor, when that notwithstanding, we went on to hold the event conclusively. Big thank you to our vendors such as DanQ Seasoning, Almonds Tastee Chicken, Juice de Juice, Onga Seasoning, Miggy's Place, Desserts Dynasty, and Cream 'n' Gold.

The event was held on 3rd - 4th November at Ngwo Park, behind Sacred Heart Parish, Uwani Enugu. Women and children are seen all over the stands to have a taste of what the vendors came with them to the festival. Of course, there were a lot of freebies and giveaways. Good to know that vendors made brisk sales during the period especially on the early evenings.

The event was a great delight to food lovers from across the city who besieged different vendor stands to savour the taste of various cuisines on display. Later on, guests wished the festival is held every year.


We also thank the Police for providing police patrol round the clock, to ensure that equipment of our vendors are not vandalized and compromised in any way.

Miracle Ani won the cooking competition that lasted late to about 8PM, when guests waited patiently to know who will be crowned the winner after the epic battle of aspiring cooks.
