Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc (GTCO Plc) has announced the inaugural Holiday Edition of its renowned GTCO Food & Drink Festival, scheduled for December 20–21, 2025. This exciting event will take place at the GT Centre in Oniru, Lagos, bringing Africa’s largest food and beverage festival into the heart of the festive season.
The Holiday Edition aims to celebrate the diversity and richness of African cuisine while creating unforgettable experiences for families. It also seeks to provide new revenue opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the food industry.
During a press conference in Lagos, GTCO Plc outlined the significance of this new edition, which focuses on a more festive and family-oriented atmosphere compared to previous festivals. The December event will forgo chef masterclasses found in past editions, instead highlighting immersive attractions, an extensive marketplace, and entertainment suitable for guests of all ages.
Segun Agbaje, the Group Chief Executive Officer of GTCO Plc, emphasized the festival’s role in promoting African creativity and supporting local entrepreneurs.
“The GTCO Food & Drink Festival serves as a powerful platform that aligns with our mission to fuel enterprise, highlight African creativity, and connect communities through meaningful lifestyle experiences. The Holiday Edition provides a unique opportunity to celebrate the festive season while supporting the thousands of food entrepreneurs who are essential to our economy,” Agbaje stated.
As excitement builds for this landmark event, families are encouraged to mark their calendars for a celebration of food, community, and holiday cheer in the vibrant atmosphere of Lagos.
