What you will eat
Cooks from well-known restaurants and new names set up pop-up stalls with dishes you eat standing up, inspired by the cuisines of these countries. Some dishes are made only for the festival. You pay at each stall separately. During the day radio producers play music, and every evening from 21:00 there's a DJ party.
