Take a Taste Tour Across 6 Continents and more
Six continents are represented at the festival: Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. Each continent is represented by a marketplace, the Africa Marketplace being the easiest to spot as it’s nestled in between San Angel Inn and China pavilion.
Each marketplace is composed of food and drink from the continent as well as entertainment from that same region. For example, at the Africa Marketplace, you can enjoy African-inspired dishes such as African Spiced Lamb Chop with Tomato Chutney or Meatless Moussaka with Eggplant & Zucchini along with traditional African music performances by drummers and dancers. To top off this experience there’s also a Marketplace Chef from Africa who helps guide us through our journey around the world through their unique cuisine!
