The Ubud Food Festival 2026 returns from 28 to 31 May with a bold celebration of Indonesian and international culinary talent. Under the theme Farmers: Guardians of Land and Sea, this year’s edition places farmers, fishers, and producers at the heart of the story, recognising their vital role in shaping Indonesia’s rich food heritage.
Set in the open-air grounds of Taman Kuliner, the festival transforms Ubud into a vibrant hub of flavour and creativity. Visitors can enjoy lively cooking demonstrations, a bustling free Food Market, intimate dining experiences, food talks, masterclasses, and curated tours.
International highlights include chefs Prin Polsuk, Ben Devlin, Kate Reid, and Frank Camorra, alongside mixologist Darren Leane. Representing Indonesia, Jovan Koraag and cacao farmer Agung Widyastuti embody the festival’s spirit, celebrating sustainability, culture, and the future of food.
