On April 19, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Binh Dinh province announced that this year's Binh Dinh Food Festival will take place from May 1 at Nguyen Tat Thanh Square (Quy Nhon City). This event promises to be a prominent cultural and tourism highlight during the April 30 - May 1 holiday.

In the bustling and colorful space of the festival, visitors will enjoy a series of typical dishes of the land of Nau such as: Banh it la gai, tre, An Thai vermicelli with song than, nem cho Huyen or fresh seafood from Quy Nhon sea. Not only are the specialties sold, they are also demonstrated to be prepared directly by chefs from the Binh Dinh Culinary Culture Association and 4-5 star hotels in the province.

The special thing about the festival is the way the organizers integrate culture into cuisine: each dish carries a story about the land, people, ingredients and long-standing traditions preserved through generations.

This combination creates a vivid picture of the connection between Binh Dinh cuisine, experiential tourism and sustainable agricultural development.
