The Chiang Mai International Food Festival takes place on Jan. 17–18 at the Old Chiangmai Cultural Center, transforming the city into a stage for cultural exchange through food.

Under the concept of “Glocalization,” the festival invites visitors to explore how local flavors can travel, evolve, and spark global conversations. The program weaves together traditional Lanna ingredients, international culinary ideas, and creative storytelling, offering a deeper look at food as cultural identity rather than just cuisine.

Throughout the festival, attendees can meet renowned chefs and cultural voices, engage with ethnic communities, and experience food as a medium for dialogue, creativity, and connection. Each element of the event reflects the idea of learning from the past to shape the future of what and how we eat.

Complementing the main festival, Food Week from Jan. 12–16 extends the celebration into local communities, setting the stage for the main gathering. Together, these events position Chiang Mai as a meeting point for culinary heritage, innovation, and shared experiences.
