THE Lagos State Commissioner for Agriculture, Ms. Abisola Olusanya, who made this disclosure in Lagos, explained that the Lagos Food Festival is an offshoot of the annual Seafood Festival, where the State celebrates its seafood varieties spiced up with other exciting activities.
According to Olusanya, “The forthcoming Lagos Food Festival is a follow-up on the success story achieved from the implementation of five editions of the erstwhile Lagos Seafood Festival, which was held between the year 2012 to 2020.
“Although Lagos is a major player in the Fisheries Value Chain, cognizance is being taken of the other Agricultural Value Chains where the State has strong comparative and competitive advantage hence the re-branding of the Lagos Seafood Festival to the Lagos Food festival.”
Olusanya stated that apart from the wide array and exhibition of food products, there would also be culinary experiences such as food tasting, cooking masterclasses with renowned chefs, outdoor grills, and thrilling entertainment.
The Commissioner assured that the Lagos Food Festival would be exciting, entertaining, and enlightening; and it would leave a long-lasting impression in the minds of visitors and participants.
She, therefore, enjoined members of the public to attend in order to enjoy the various points of the Festival which encapsulates entertainment, the biggest fish auction, musical performances, games corner, seafood pavilion, culinary competitions with celebrity chefs, as well as family cooking competitions among others.
The Y2021 Lagos Food Festival will be held on Sunday, December 12, 2021, at the Muri-Okunola Park, Victoria Island, Lagos.
