The event took place at the prestigious Harrow Golf Park, Abuja and was flavored by Jack Daniels and Refreshed by Pepsi The Festival offered the people of Abuja the chance to sample different selections of meats and delicacies, both local and from around the globe.
The festival featured the distinctive barbecue styles of many different food emporiums, including the likes of The Grind Grill, Jalapenos Grill, Grill In and Out, The Grill Party, Barkano Grill, Tree House Grill, La Rouge Chef, Rebhan Grills, Seun B, Shirleys, Franks Prime Hotdog, Japhar Grill etc.
Given the almost nuclear nature of much of the grub on offer, refreshment was at hand in the form of several international drinks and sprits to keep the thirsts of bbq lovers quenched. Some of the brands involved included Pepsi, Jackdaniels, Castle milk stout and Redds.
In light of being the Festival’s
birth onto the Abuja scene, the turnout was impressive with tickets for the event
completely sold out. Given the overall costs of running the festival, a voucher
system was deployed to make things viable.
There were media
personalities and A-list celebrities. Music headliners included Wande coal, Niniola, Largess, the Guest DJ, Chocolate city DJ Lambo and
the entertainment host EmmaohmyGod.
The event was a laid-back,
summer-type event, with the ooze of crisp barbecue in the air, there were side
attractions like Game trucks, recreation games, funfair for kids, a Master
Class by Chef Fregz, and many more
The
chief coordinator of the event, Grill
Master Francis Ebie said “A huge thanks to everyone for coming to the
first-ever Grill and bbq Festival in Abuja, We hope you had a great time? Next
year promises to be bigger and better”
For now the festival moves to Accra, Ghana, as The Grind in
collaboration with Golden
Apple Marketing Solutions brings to you, THE ACCRA GRILL & BBQ FESTIVAL,
scheduled to take place this December in Ghana.
The Abuja Grill & Bbq
Festival was refreshed by Pepsi Nigeria, flavored by Jack Daniels and supported
by Rosebud Hotel, Easy Taxi, I_Blend services, Castle Milk Stout, Redds, Play lounge
Abuja and WTWmedia.

First it was corny that in all their adverts they didn't mention a gate fee. Then the heavy down pour really messed them up but not withstanding there was a massive turn out and the food was good only the rain slowed things down. Il sure attend the next one hopefully it doesn't rain so terriblyy
ReplyDeleteflop event! heheeee...after all the noise
