History of the Dubai Food Festival 

Launched in the year 2014, The Dubai Food Festival is arguably the most significant Middle Eastern food celebration. This hedonistic indulgence has been growing in quantity, crowd and quality ever since. The Dubai Food Festival aims at projecting the emergence of the Emirate’s as a gastronomic destination – highlighting Dubai’s unique food scene and world-class dining experiences.

Organised by the Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), an agency of Dubai’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM), The Dubai Food Festival is a strategic part of the city’s year-round programme of festivals held to promote tourism and development in the retail sector of Dubai.
