The story

Guba Regional Cuisine Festival in Guba

The Guba Regional Culinary Festival brings together local food producers, cooks and tourism professionals in Nizami Park for a two-day showcase of northern Azerbaijani cooking. Running each year on July 27-28, it combines tasting areas, a sales zone for local agricultural products, a main stage and hands-on master classes, giving visitors a compact, food-first introduction to one of Azerbaijan's most productive farming regions.

Each July, Nizami Park in Guba turns into a working stage for northern Azerbaijani food culture.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What sets the Guba festival apart is its focus on a single region's food identity rather than a generalized national spread

02

The mystery stays covered

Guba is known for tixmasi, spicy kebab, sac and tandir kebab, alongside its celebrated baklava, irishta, a layered pastry built from thin dough sheets, walnuts and syrup

03

The city starts moving

The event is organized around distinct functional zones, a Cuisine Samples area, a Food and Tasting Area, and a Sale of Local Agricultural Products section, so visitors move between eating, learning at master classes, and buying directly from producers rather than simply watching a stage show

04

The water draws everyone in

The amusement area extends the event beyond food alone, making it a family outing as much as a culinary showcase
