The story

Festival Nam Santiago in Santiago

Festival Nam, commonly listed without its accent as Nam though the festival's own branding uses the Spanish enye, is Chile's most important gastronomic event, held every April at Parque Padre Hurtado in Santiago's La Reina district. Over three days, more than 100 producer stands sell native ingredients alongside restaurant pop-ups, cocktail bars and the Nam Innova stage, where leading Chilean and Latin American chefs hold public talks, backed by live music and DJs.

Each April, Parque Padre Hurtado in the La Reina district of Santiago fills with more than a hundred stands for Festival Nam, which has grown since its founding into the most significant culinary event on Chile's calendar.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival distinguishes itself from a typical food festival through its Nam Innova program, which brings prominent chefs from Chile and across Latin America together for public conversations rather than closed industry panels, giving visitors direct access to the thinking behind the country's contemporary restaurant scene

02

The mystery stays covered

The producer stands emphasize ancestral and regional Chilean ingredients, native Chiloe potatoes among them, alongside more conventional festival food, so the tasting experience spans from traditional agriculture to high-end technique in the same afternoon

03

The city starts moving

Discounted local resident pricing and free entry for young children signal a genuine effort at public accessibility rather than an exclusively upscale event, while evening DJ sets and bands keep the later hours lively
