Michael Ayenu Mensah, Founder of Eat Drink Music Festival
The Eat Drink Music (EDM) Festival is making efforts to raise at least GH¢200,000 to support five entrepreneurs and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Ghana.
The fundraising is being done through the EDM Festival’s “To The Top” campaign, an initiative that seeks to empower dreams, fuel the future and be a catalyst for change by supporting passionate entrepreneurs on their journey to success.
To The Top initiative will also organise an entrepreneurial seminar with some top business executives and renowned entrepreneurs for over 100 young entrepreneurs to build their capacities for the ever-challenging world of entrepreneurship.
EDM Festival, which will be held in October this year, seeks to create a memorable experience, promote and support entrepreneurship in Ghana.
Eat Drink Music Festival is a uniquely curated two-day event that combines food, drinks, and music. It seeks to showcase a mix of traditional and contemporary music, offers a variety of fashion styles, and supports entrepreneurial businesses.
The festival will take place on October 28 and 29, 2023 at the Untamed Empire in Accra from 12pm to 12am daily.
An estimated 3,000 to 5,000 guests will attend the festival each day and will be treated to good music and sumptuous meals. Several food and drink vendors as well as top music executives are attending the festival.
A number of activities have been planned to make the festival a memorable and highly successful event for both businesses and guests.
The activities include an entrepreneurial seminar, live podcast sessions, live interactive art installations, a skill learning session (fashion, pottery, art, painting), indoor and outdoor games, for the socials (live content creation), chugs and vibes (food, music, dance) and to the top (meet fundraising targets).
Meanwhile, organisers of the EDM Festival have encouraged vendors to sign up to showcase their products to thousands of potential buyers.
