The story
Tbilisi Street Food Festival in Tbilisi
Billed as the first event of its kind in Georgia, the Tbilisi Street Food Festival, run under the Taste Tbilisi name, combines street food vendors, craft beer, natural wine, music and entertainment into a single event. Vendors rework traditional Georgian dishes into festival-friendly formats, complementing the city's established Bazari Orbeliani street food hub.
Billed by its own organizers as the first street food festival in Georgia, the Tbilisi Street Food Festival, run under the Taste Tbilisi banner, arrived at a moment when the capital's food scene was already shifting away from a narrower set of grab-and-go staples, shawarma, tarragon-and-potato pies and chebureki, toward a wider, more experimental street-food culture.
