Food enthusiasts, mark your calendars! The world-renowned Ubud Food Festival is set to return in 2023, celebrating the diverse and phenomenal food culture of Bali and Indonesia.
The three-day Festival, to be held from June 30 to July 2 at Taman Kuliner in Ubud, will feature an impressive lineup of internationally acclaimed chefs, food innovators, and local culinary legends.
One of the highlights of the events calendar, the Ubud Food Festival is a platform for exploring all the incredible food and drink that Indonesia has to offer. Chefs, food, health, and agricultural specialists from all over the world will come together for this gastronomic event.
The Festival always brings in some of the biggest names in the culinary world, and this year is no exception. Some of the headliners include Hans Christian, the head chef at August restaurant in Jakarta, and Petty Pandean-Elliott, an internationally acclaimed Indonesian chef, food writer, entrepreneur, and philanthropist.
The Festival’s theme this year is ‘Soil’, paying tribute to the living element that provides 95% of the food we eat. This theme will be interwoven throughout the Festival’s program, showcasing not just the finest food Indonesia has to offer but also serving as a platform for discussions around food trends, sustainable and regenerative food systems, and the environmental impact of food production.
Attendees will have the chance to taste some of the creations of the world’s top chefs and food specialists, listen to inspiring talks, and attend masterclasses to enhance their own kitchen skills. Workshops will include tempeh-making classes, providing a hands-on experience for Festival-goers.
The Festival will also feature artwork by local Balinese artists, including the highly-regarded Ni Wayan Tiksna Gangga. Gangga’s work has already been displayed in Bali’s most famous galleries, including the Agung Rai Museum of Art in the heart of Ubud.
The full program and first round of tickets will be on sale on May 15, with the full lineup to be announced on June 15. Ubud Food Festival promises to be an unforgettable experience for foodies and culinary enthusiasts alike. Don’t miss out on this celebration of all things culinary!
