About My Tasty Naija Food Festival

My Tasty Naija Food Festival is a vibrant celebration of Nigerian and African cuisine, culture, and community — born from the hit YouTube series My Tasty Naija. The festival brings the flavours of the show to life in a lively, family-friendly setting, filled with food, fashion, music, games, and entertainment.

The idea came from a lightbulb moment by creator Abass Tijani, popularly known as DJ Abass after watching global food travel shows on YouTube. Inspired to showcase Nigerian cuisine in a similar way, he launched My Tasty Naija in January 2024 — a UK-based series highlighting Nigerian restaurants, traditional dishes, and vibrant personalities in the diaspora.

Following the show's success and the community it built, the food festival was created as a real-world spin-off — inviting food lovers of all backgrounds to experience authentic African flavours, connect with culture, and enjoy a full day of culinary and cultural excitement.
