Foodaholic Festival Unveils Plans for 7th Edition 

The acclaimed Foodaholic Festival, often dubbed the biggest food festival in Nigeria, is set to return for its 7th edition on December 13, 2025.

This year, the organisers are promising more than just a feast for the palate — they aim to deliver a truly immersive and unforgettable experience that blends great cuisine with music, fashion, and family-friendly fun.Organised by Foodies and Spice, the culinary media brand founded by renowned food content creator Gina Ehikodi Ojo, the festival has grown into one of Nigeria’s most anticipated lifestyle events. What began as a casual hangout with just 100 attendees has evolved into a cultural phenomenon, attracting thousands of guests, food brands, families, creatives, and cultural enthusiasts from across Nigeria and the diaspora.

“We are particularly proud of the festival’s growing role in driving local tourism and boosting the Lagos economy,” said the convener, Ojo. “From job creation and vendor empowerment to increased foot traffic in the hospitality and retail sectors, the Foodaholic Festival has proven to be a powerful economic engine. Many of our vendors — food brands, fashion retailers, creatives, and artisans — make some of their biggest annual sales during this event.”

In a major boost, the seventh edition has been officially endorsed by the Lagos State Government through the Lagos State Tourism Board.

“This is not just a win for the festival — it is a recognition of the role the creative industry plays in shaping the image, economy, and future of Lagos. We are grateful for the show of support and are excited to collaborate further in positioning the festival as an official tourism highlight in the State’s cultural calendar.”

At the unveiling of the seventh edition, food bloggers and vendors praised the festival’s impact on the culinary scene, describing it as a platform that has elevated their visibility and strengthened the food community.

According to Ojo, this year’s festival will feature a rich blend of cultural expressions, family zones, fashion runways, and hands-on masterclasses. “It’s a full sensory experience — a vibrant fusion of food, culture, music, and lifestyle. From our signature food court to family zones, fashion runways, and masterclasses, there’s something for everyone.”

The festival will also retain fan-favourite elements such as seasoning battles, dance-offs, and rap competitions between teams. The Foodaholic Festival will take place at JJT Park, Alausa, Lagos.
