In Siberia There Is Food Festival Forum in Novosibirsk

On Mikhailovskaya Embankment along the Ob River, Novosibirsk hosts what has become the largest gastronomic festival east of the Urals each July, pulling in food producers, chefs, and visitors from as far as China, France, Thailand, and Saudi Arabia. Now past its fifth edition, In Siberia There Is Food combines a public festival with a business-focused forum on Siberian food tourism.

The festival matters because it reframes Siberia through food, showing regional identity through ingredients, producers and contemporary cooking.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's dual identity, half public food festival, half serious business forum, sets it apart from a typical summer street-food event

02

The mystery stays covered

organizers explicitly frame it as an effort to open authentic Siberian cuisine to an international audience, using the business program to build trade and tourism connections rather than just staging tastings

03

The city starts moving

International participation is substantial for a regional Russian event, with recent editions drawing entrants from nine countries spanning Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia

04

The water draws everyone in

Culinary competitions run for both adult chefs and children, and the riverside embankment setting gives the food-focused programming a scenic, walkable backdrop rare among Russian gastronomic festivals of this scale
