The story

Festival Conce al Plato in Concepcion

Festival Conce al Plato is a free October food festival in Concepcion's Parque Bicentenario, bringing together more than eighty restaurants, wineries, breweries and food trucks across two stages - one for culinary demonstrations and masterclasses, one for live music. It showcases regional Biobio dishes from towns including Antuco, Los Angeles, Arauco, Lirquen and Canete alongside a National Cocktail Tournament.

Festival Conce al Plato takes over Concepcion's Parque Bicentenario each October with more than eighty exhibitors - restaurants, bars, wine producers, cafes, food trucks and small breweries - organized across two dedicated stages rather than a single central point: one given over to cooking demonstrations, masterclasses and conversations with chefs and food professionals, the other to live music and entertainment running in parallel through both days.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The two-stage structure - a dedicated culinary-demonstration and masterclass stage running alongside a separate music and entertainment stage - marks this as a professionally organized food showcase rather than a single food-and-music fair

02

The mystery stays covered

Its deliberate sourcing of dishes from towns across the Biobio Region rather than Concepcion alone, including Antuco's roast lamb, Los Angeles's pollona, Arauco's white doves, Lirquen's historic Chinatown-linked food and Canete's paila carajo, gives it a regional-survey character distinct from single-crop costumbrista fairs

03

The city starts moving

The National Cocktail Tournament adds a competitive professional strand not found at the region's rural food fairs
