LUSAKA, ZAMBIA — Lusaka, get ready! The Coca-Cola Food Fest is back! On 31 October 2026, the Polofield Showgrounds will come alive as Coca-Cola brings back its premier culinary and entertainment experience, celebrating Zambia’s rich food heritage, vibrant local sounds, and unforgettable shared moments. Following last year’s massive success, the 2026 edition returns bigger and bolder, designed to highlight the real magic that happens when food, music, and people come together through an expanded line-up of local vendors, interactive brand activations, and immersive spaces created for festivalgoers of all ages.

Festivalgoers can look forward to an incredible culinary experience, featuring over 25 local food vendors serving authentic Zambian dishes alongside global cuisines. To complement the feast, this year’s entertainment stage will feature an electrifying lineup headlined by South African Amapiano powerhouse duo TxC, alongside chart-topping hits from LeeMcKrazy and Yo Maps, setting the stage for an extraordinary live music experience.
