UBUD FOOD FESTIVAL

The much-awaited annual culinary celebration in Bali is back for its sixth round this year. Held from 17 to 19 April, this year’s Ubud Food Festival Presented by ABC dubs Heroes as its theme, with the aim of commemorating the unsung heroes of Indonesia’s culinary cultures, from the mothers and fathers, to the grandmothers and grandfathers who provide their loved ones with food, rich in history and flavours.

The festival comprises free programmes and ticketed events, and as always welcomes audiences, as well as the culinary scene’s movers and shakers from all around Indonesia and beyond. Participants can expect special events, cooking demos, food tours and talks, workshops and masterclasses, music and performances, and films and markets. The event will also introduce Indonesian flavours, beyond the usual rendang, sate, gado-gado and nasi goreng.
