There is a famous food festival in Ubud. This cultural festival takes place every year with the aim of spreading local cuisine all over the world.
The festival attracts several thousand spectators. Each of them will be able to taste the best Balinese delicacies, take part in master classes and competitive programs.

Its subject matter is not limited to cooking food alone. In addition to catering representatives, photographers, artists, scientists, and a historian come to the holiday.
