On July 26th, Ngwo Park in Uwani, Enugu, transformed into a haven of flavour, music, and shared joy as the Golden Penny Food Festival brought people together for a day that will live in our hearts for a long time.
From the moment you stepped into the park, you could feel the energy, the laughter, and the aroma of rich, steaming delicacies filling the air. Families sat under shaded canopies, sharing plates of food and stories.
Friends laughed over meals, reconnecting in the most beautiful way possible through good food. In the kiddies' corner, the little ones played, painted, and danced with unrestrained joy.
The cultural display was a soul-stirring celebration of Igbo heritage, a vivid reminder of the beauty of the igbo tradition.
Adding to the day’s richness were very educative masterclasses by culinary experts: Chef Faith of Eazi Kitchen, Chef Gaz Azah of Gazkitchen, and Chef Nengi of Nengi's Kitchen, who taught everything from elevating traditional dishes to building a personal food brand online.
And for many attendees, the day became even more special as they went home with amazing prizes — from brand products to cooking appliances and cash rewards, leaving smiles that matched their full bellies.
With Funnybone and M.I.A. keeping everyone in stitches, it felt less like an event and more like a family gathering on the grandest scale. Marc Swagz hyped the crowd to a constant level 10.
As the sun dipped, the stage came alive. Professor Onye Egwu electrified the audience, Ugoccie delivered a top tier performance, and when Jeriq took the stage, the park erupted; his performance showed why he is regarded as the one the fast rising musical prodigies from the EAST.
The Golden Penny Food Festival wasn’t just about food. It was about people, about connection, culture, and the simple, profound joy of coming together. It was a reminder that when we share a meal, we share a piece of ourselves.
