A Kids’ Train and Family Activities
The festival is designed as a full family outing rather than only a food market.

Families can also expect children’s activities, entertainment and an outdoor community-festival atmosphere throughout the two days.
Entertainment and Festival Atmosphere
Visitors can enjoy the outdoor festival atmosphere throughout the weekend, with entertainment and community activities adding to the experience beyond the food and shopping.
Shopping, Local Vendors and Community
Alongside the food vendors, visitors will find a community marketplace with local businesses and shopping stalls. Previous editions have featured rows of outdoor vendors, fashion and modest-wear sellers, community organizations and small businesses, making the festival a place to eat, shop and spend the day with family and friends.
