Ghanaian culinary sensation Chef Abbys and her team paid a visit to the National Chief Imam, Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, ahead of the Big Street Feast event on World Food Day.

The team sought the Islamic cleric's blessings to ensure a successful event.

Expressing his excitement about the event, the Chief Imam said, “I’m highly elated that you’ve brought this initiative to this community that everybody will benefit from.”

He offered heartfelt prayers and blessings as a sign of his support for the event.

The Big Street Feast is slated for Thursday, 16th October, as part of the World Food Day celebration. The major streets of Accra will come alive with flavour, joy, and community spirit with the historic food-sharing celebration.

The event is expected to bring together food trucks and food stands at vantage points across the city, ensuring that over 15,000 people can enjoy a hearty meal, no matter where they are.

With the rallying theme “Wherever You Are, Food Will Find You”, the Feast highlights the power of food to unite, nourish, and restore hope.

With the Big Street Feast, Chef Abbys is not just feeding people but championing a movement, as food is more than survival.

The event seeks to make sure that everyone can feel the joy of being fed.

Big Street Feast aligns with the global theme Food is our future: Partnerships that Feed the Future, which highlights the need for collaboration to build resilient, food-secure, and sustainable food systems.
