Everything You Need to Know About Food and Drink Festivals
What are food and drink festivals?
Food and drink festivals put a city food culture on one table. You can taste street food, watch chefs at work, and try drinks made for the event. They are a good way to learn what a city eats, and why. Many food festivals serve dishes from small stalls, while drink festivals pour tastings from local makers. Some are culinary events with chef talks, and others are simple stall tastings.
Festivals in this section
Check the Horn OK Please street food stalls and Delhi food festival dates before you go. The Delhi event serves street food from many stalls in one place. See the Lyon Street Food Festival chef sessions and Lyon tasting dates for the week. The Lyon event brings chefs and stalls together for tastings. Book the Salon du Chocolat chocolate tastings and Paris chocolate show dates early, since popular sessions fill up. The Paris show is a chocolate salon with tastings and maker stalls. Two of these are street food festivals, and all three are food events where you can taste before you buy. Each festival page gives menus, hosts, dates, and practical notes for that event.
How to plan your visit
- Read the menu and stall list before you go.
