The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) is organizing a unique food festival in the capital city. The G20 Food Festival will showcase cuisines from 29 countries including the 19 member countries of the Group of Twenty (G20).

The main aim of this festival is for the public to taste the food delicacies from the participating G20 countries and guest countries. The countries are required to bring their chefs, staff, and raw materials for food preparation. However, the NDMC will provide space, stalls, electrical connection, water connection and other logistics support. The food can be sold to visitors on a payment basis.
Food preparation workshops or live demonstration counters may also be a part of the festival, along with the display of photographs and write-ups on the cuisines. This festival is expected to generate awareness about international cuisines and provide education and guidance on nutritional health and food preparation.
NDMC revealed in a statement, “The main purpose of the Food Festival is for the public to enjoy food delicacies of G20 member countries and guest countries. All the G20 member nations and guest countries are invited to participate in this food festival.”

The G20 Food Festival is a unique opportunity to bring together cuisines from around the world under one roof, and for food lovers in New Delhi to taste and experience the diversity of global cuisine.
