The 2025 International Cities of Gastronomy Fest is scheduled to take place at Fisherman’s Wharf between 11 and 20 July.
One of the highlights of the event will be the International Food Avenue, with 100 food stands that represent the UNESCO Creative Cities of Gastronomy. Among the mainland Chinese booths will be stalls selling food from Chengdu, Yangzhou and Chaozhou.
The Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) has already held an information session for the recruitment of 52 local stand operators, who will be joined by 25 mainland Chinese and 23 overseas food stands.
