Jos Food Festival 2026 - THIS IS PLATEAU is our most ambitious festival experience yet.
For the first time, the festival expands into a three-day celebration of food, culture, creativity, entertainment, and hospitality, running alongside The Season, our proposed 72-hour Nigerian-style shawarma record attempt.
Unlike previous editions, the festival is designed to run across an extended programme, with guests arriving and experiencing it at different times throughout the three days. Our vendors are therefore a critical part of the experience.
Vendor spaces for this edition are limited and curated. Selected businesses are expected to demonstrate strong products, professional presentation, and the manpower, inventory, production, and logistical capacity required to operate within the festival schedule.
IMPORTANT: Submitting this application does not guarantee selection. Applications will be reviewed based on product suitability, uniqueness, operational capacity, and overall fit within the festival.
OPERATIONAL CAPACITY
THIS IS PLATEAU is an extended three-day festival. Selected vendors must have sufficient staffing, stock, and logistics to maintain the required level of service throughout their approved operating schedule.
