The Fiji National University’s (FNU) International Food Festival is set to cook up a culinary treat for the second year in a row.

The festival will be from October 10 -17 at the FNU Nadi Campus in Namaka.

It boasts a week of food and drink-themed events and restaurant promotions.

The official opening whisks off on October 10 celebrating Fiji’s Independence Day showcasing the excellent food and drink centered around Fiji’s history and past traditions. Entry is free.

“This festival allows you to come through our gate, browse through the food booth arena and buy at your whim whatever takes your fancy,” FNU said.

“The event will feature cooking demonstrations from local celebrity chefs.”

The festival will showcase tastes and cuisines  from India, Japan, Korea, United States, China, Nepal, Mexico, Thailand, Italy, England, Africa and Pacific Islands countries.

There will be stalls selling delicious local and international cuisines, live music and the hotly anticipated lovo making competition, setting the stage for a great week of food-filled activities.
