The Malta International Food Festival is a respected and well renowned food festival in Malta.  It is the most anticipated culinary festival in Malta which features food from all around the world.

 

Food and wine lovers in their hundreds and thousands each year indulge in Malta’s bespoke event of the year. Over the recent years the festival attracted over 100,000 patrons. 2018 was the biggest edition ever since with over 33,000 visitors during the Malta edition. Another 6,000 visitors visited the first Gozo special edition in 2017. 

 

The Malta 4 day festival surpasses just eating and drinking to uncover what Malta’s food-scene is all about: crusading local and seasonal produce; promoting its diverse culture; championing premium producers; indulging in a kaleidoscope of tastes and being treated to an amazing night out at the fortified medieval city of Mdina.

 

During the event, patrons are entertained with live performances offering the likes of Malta’s finest artists along with an array of other children’s activities.

 

The Gozo edition is a more modest but exciting event, which is held few weeks after the Malta edition right beneath the majestic Xewkija Parish church. It’s a free street food festival with a focus on inclusivity featuring over 7 international cuisines all rhythmed by a special set of live musicians and other entertainment.

 

The way it works is easy; patrons will have to purchase tokens and redeem in any food they desire. Drinks, including a variety of quality wine, are also available for purchase.
