Phetchaburi Food Festival 2026 set for 24–28 July
The Phetchaburi Food Festival 2026 will bring five evenings of local cuisine, traditional arts, handicrafts and live entertainment to Phra Nakhon Khiri from 24 to 28 July.
Officially titled the Phetchaburi Food, Fine Arts and Local Culture Festival 2026, the event will be held from 4pm to 9pm at King Mongkut Memorial Park. Admission will be free.
Organised by Phetchaburi Province and the Phetchaburi Provincial Cultural Office, the festival aims to promote the province’s food, cultural traditions, craftsmanship and local knowledge.
It will also highlight Phetchaburi’s status as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy and support local businesses and community tourism.
More than 60 food stalls at Phetchaburi Food Festival
More than 60 food vendors will take part, offering traditional dishes and local specialities from across the province.
Visitors will also be able to watch well-known chefs prepare traditional and contemporary dishes using three ingredients closely associated with Phetchaburi: palm sugar, sea salt and key limes.
The ingredients have helped establish the province’s identity as the “City of Three Flavours”.
Phetchaburi Deputy Governor Wanphen Mangsri said the festival would allow visitors to experience the province’s cultural heritage while helping to generate income and support the local economy.
Traditional crafts, exhibitions and concerts
The programme will include exhibitions and demonstrations by skilled artisans from the Phetchaburi school of craftsmanship.
Other activities will include a competition featuring sets of savoury dishes and desserts, a Gastronomy @ Phetchaburi animation contest, DIY arts activities and stalls selling handicrafts and cultural products from all eight districts.
An exhibition will honour Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother, alongside displays of eight styles of traditional royal Thai dress and local textiles.
Cultural performances and concerts will be held each evening. The announced performers include Pao Paowalee, Ryal Kajbundit, Sayamo, Tao Phusin and Lek Ratchamet.
