Treat your taste buds

The renowned Nedbank Namibia Food Festival takes place at the Amphitheatre in Tobias Hayineko Street in Swakopmund from 15 to 17 December 2022.The festival accommodates 25 selected food stalls, delivering a wide variety of dishes. “We are well prepared and ready to host another truly Namibian, delectable and unique ‘foodie’ experience at the coast,” event organiser Daleen Stephanus said. “Everybody knows the event is food specific and we take pride in the fact that we remain true to our objective, which is to bring a huge variety and good quality food to visitors.”The Nedbank Namibia Food Festival also partnered with ‘Chommie Bites’, a local delivery company, to enhance the reach of vendors at the event. “People in and around Swakopmund can order and have their food delivered to them. Vendor profiles will be loaded onto the app. This is a win-win and adds value for both the vendors and foodies.”For the first time in the history of the event, the Amphitheatre will be incorporated as part of the venue. “We have a surprise in store for visitors which will add a new dimension to the festival. As always, the setup will be user friendly and enticing,” Stephanus said.This year's festival also boasts five professional chefs who intend to cook up a storm. “Chef Chris presents an Argentinian grill, Chef Bertha will be dishing up Portuguese-style fish, and Chef Toivo plans to tantalise your taste buds with Spanish food with a truly Namibian flair. The braai stand will also be bigger and better since we have partnered with Hartlief for an enhanced experience.”In addition, Tate Asher Makupil will again deliver a seafood paella and prepare seafood, including a variety of fish and crayfish, on the grill. Stephanus said that there will be no live entertainment during the festival. “We opted for five top Namibian DJs to add to the party vibe and festive atmosphere. We also made the decision to select the majority of these DJs, including Mickey G and The Musketeers (Dj Jojo, Dj Skull and Dj Zonesh), from the Erongo region to keep things local.”The kiddies are also in for a treat, with a special section for them featuring a variety of games to keep them entertained.Last year an estimated 2 500 people visited the festival. “The festival has people and vendors travelling from all over the country to participate. It has become a signature event and brings exposure to entrepreneurs as well as a good cash injection for Swakopmund,” Stephanus said. The festival is open from 09:00 to 21:00 daily and entrance is free with ample security and the police on standby for the duration of the event. “We only ask that you bring along a healthy budget to support our vendors and satisfy your cravings,” Stephanus concluded.
