My Tasty Naija Food Festival UK takes Nigeria on gastronomy tourism

As Nigerian culinary and culture continues to travel across the world, My Tasty Naija Food Festival is set to propagate this experience as it welcomes all and sundry to the second edition of the yearly event in London and Manchester.

Following the success of its inaugural London event in 2025, the festival this year will hold in two cities in the United Kingdom. The London event holds on Saturday, July 5, while the Manchester edition is billed for Saturday, July 11, at Nigerian House Manchester.

Remarking, Convener Abass Tijani (DJ Abass) said, “the vision for My Tasty Naija has always been to celebrate Nigerian food and culture across the UK. Our YouTube show features Nigerian restaurants from London and across the UK. The goal is to take the festival experience to different cities each year and eventually to Nigeria and other parts of the world.”

With demand continuing to grow, this year’s festival will welcome up to 3,000 attendees in London and 1,500 attendees in Manchester.
Visitors can look forward to great food, live entertainment, exhibitors, cultural showcases, networking opportunities, and the return of the popular My Tasty Naija Junior Chef Competition and Food Competition.

This edition is sponsored by Nigerian Eats UK and GeeftMe – a digital fundraising platform that makes giving to verified causes in Nigeria simple, secure, and impactful.
