Get ready for the biggest food exhibition and festival on the Plateau!
The Jos Food Festival was born with a vision to promote food tourism, celebrate and showcase the rich indigenous, cultural and agricultural heritage on the plateau. It was founded to convene people from diverse communities, ethnicities, religious and cultural groups within the state and its metropolis to provide the platform for young food entrepreneurs to connect, network, and forge synergies.
The maiden edition of the Jos Food Festival which held in 2019 hosted over three thousand (3,000) guests who graced the event. The edition tagged ‘Shawarmarathon’, offered food lovers and enthusiasts a common ground where they were taken on a food adventure, thrilling their tastebuds to a wide array of delicacies available at the event.
Subsequent editions of the Jos Food Fest have attracted sponsorships, food vendors, foodies and guests who troop in from destinations beyond the borders of the state.
The Jos Food Festival took a new dimension in July 2022 as it marked the first phase of the biannual event; attracting NASCO, Valgee Transport, Akaani, Fusion, Bricks and Roses, among others brands who were headline sponsors at the event. Also in attendance, were Plateau State Government Dignitaries, CEOs and representatives from various Brands and Companies.
Themed “South-South Relish”, the event aimed at bringing the southern Nigeria’s food experience to people on the Plateau; and it turned out a tremendous success, as people turned out en masse to savour new delicacies while networking and connecting with other food lovers.
