Food is a universal language that can transcend boundaries and bring people together, no matter their background or culture. It’s amazing how a simple meal can create a sense of community and understanding, even between people who might not have anything in common. Food truly is a powerful force for connection and communication. Food is more than just sustenance, it’s a way of preserving and sharing culture.

In Africa, food is a big part of our culture and traditions. Different tribes and nationalities have recipes and dishes attached to their identities, some even approach the same dishes in different ways. A case in point is the continuous battle between Nigerian and Ghanaian Jollof. Food is a big deal in this part of the world, and so are food festivals. 

I’ve compiled a list of food festivals that all foodies, from chefs to eaters should look out for in 2024!
