This year’s festival is promising to be bigger and better with special chefs who will teach the audience how to produce complete meals in minutes. The 2017 edition will also have a dedicated kids’ corner with lots of fun activities for the children including face painting, sack races and bouncing castles among others.
Some activities that have been planned for the 2017 festival include cooking competitions for various categories including: divas sponsored by Shell Gas; bachelors sponsored by Tusker; couples by Coca-Cola; and the fathers’ cook off sponsored by DSTV.
Some participants will be nominated through social media while others will be chosen from the audience. The day will also feature entertainment from Zumba dancers, performing artists and live bands.
This year the Shell Gas Tokosa Food Festival has once again identified the Bless a Child Foundation as a beneficiary partner to receive 10% of the total proceeds. The foundation provides improved childhood cancer care services for terminally ill children.
Through the foundation, the children can access food, education and care, free of charge. Over 800 children have benefitted from the foundation over the past years. The foundation will also receive a kitchen makeover at their home in Makerere-Kikoni to support care for the children.
