This is the first time Việt Nam hosts the World Food Festival

Some 80 countries and territories around the world are expected to join the event which will also be featured with a firework performance.

Key activities focus on five topics - gastronomy, culture, festival, shopping, and convalescence. There will also be a colorful street carnival.

The world’s top cooks, including Jan Cancook, will perform their outstanding cooking skills.

Organizers hope to bring visitors a unique chance to observe and enjoy the ever longest cuisine atmosphere of three kilometers along the Thùy Vân Beach.
