A food festival is a celebration of a region’s cuisine, often organized by a local government, with the intention of increasing awareness about the regional food culture.

The first food festivals were created in the early 1970s to celebrate the harvest and promote agriculture. Today, these events have evolved into an opportunity for chefs and restaurants to show off their cooking skills while promoting their restaurants and catering businesses.
