The legacy
Food festivals are considered as ancient as harvesting from nature.

Repetition
Most of the large food festivals repeat their event annually in order to gain respect for the values they put forward.

Celebration
A food festival can easily be confused with a party, although the celebration part is fully legitimate as long as the focus remains on the food. A well planned food festival should also promote relevant beverage. Some festivals are solely devoted to humid pleasures.

The future
