Nigeria’s first ever Grill &
BBQ Festival will hold on Easter Sunday at Muri Okunola Park, Victoria Island.
The event will feature delicious food from over 10 grill and bbq top joints
across Lagos, a fun fair for kids and entertainment for all.
Major grill and bbq festivals
are popularly held around the world; most notably in Melbourne, Australia,
Texas USA and Bristol in the United Kingdom.
“The event will be the first of
its kind in Nigeria – a fusion of Western style food festivals and authentic
Naija grill and bbq,” says Francis Ebie, chief coordinator of the event
The park will be transformed into a summer style festival with gazebos,
comfortable seating areas, cocktail tables and a big stage for the
performances. The entertainment host is Falz the bahdguy and guests can look
forward to comedy and dance, entertainment from top acts like Patoranking,
Skales, and Dj Baggio and Humility. The event will also include a bbq master
class from chef Fregz.
A section of the park will be
for the kids with interactive games, bouncy castles and play pens. The adults
will also get to channel their ‘inner kid’ as there will be fun food
competitions like ‘How many hot wings can you eat’ and the ‘fastest burger
eater’ contests. The winners of these contests will go home with great prizes
