The event, part of the month-long celebration of the Europe Days, is the fourth European food festival hosted by the European Chamber of Commerce (EuroCham), which attracted over one thousand visitors last year.

Addressing a press conference on May 8 in Hanoi, Thomas Felber, director of EuroCham Hanoi said the festival aims of promoting the diversity of Europe through a showcase of its culinary arts, as well as at promoting cooperation and deepening understanding between the European and Vietnam communities.

This year, the event is expected to attract a bigger crowd with some well-known European F&B exhibitors and hospitality providers, said the organising board, adding that it would also help raise public awareness of protecting a clean and green Hanoi.

The festival will also include numerous cultural and art activities such as performances by DJ Bruno from the Blue Glasses Experiment and The Van Ho Ba music group, among other entertainments.
