RIYADH: The second European Food Festival will take place at Al-Kindi Plaza in Riyadh from Oct. 24-25, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

From 4 p.m. to 11.30 p.m., visitors can enjoy an array of distinctive European dishes and flavors, along with cooking demonstrations featuring renowned chefs who will create meals that highlight the culinary diversity of Europe.

There will also be live music and family-oriented activities, including a dedicated children’s area.

EU Ambassador to the Kingdom Christophe Farnaud said the festival went beyond celebrating European cuisine and served as a concrete expression of the commitment to engage with the Saudi people and foster cultural exchange between nations.

Acting CEO of the Diplomatic Quarter Office, Mazen Bahamdan, described it as “a gathering of cultures that strengthens ties among them.”
