Official Event for “National Culinary Infusion” Day!
We are pleased to announce that in August of 2024, Injaga applied for the approval of the National Culinary Infusion Day to be May 3rd of every year. We also requested that Injaga Foodies Festival be the official event to celebrate the holiday. At the end of September of 2024, we received approval to our proposal.
This approval comes with media proclamation to over 20,000 media sources that follow the National Day Calendar. This informs the media and allows them to prepare stories, prep for coverage, etc. This benefit is part of our sponsorship packages and some of our vendor packets.
