Abu Dhabi: The inaugural Abu Dhabi Food Festival, running from February 5-21, will launch with the region’s first Street Feast as a caravan of international and local food trucks serve up cuisines from around the world across the emirate.
The new concept makes up one of three courses of the Abu Dhabi Food Festival, which will also incorporate the annual Gourmet Abu Dhabi event, running from February 11-20 and the new Emirati Kitchen, being held from February 5-7.
Street Feast will run over three successive weekends and take place in Madinat Zayed, the largest town in the Western Region, on February 5–7, at Al Mubazzarah Park in the emirate’s second city and heritage heartland of Al Ain from February 12-14 and along the Corniche in Abu Dhabi city from February 19-21.
Street Feast on Abu Dhabi Corniche will also attempt to set a new world record by creating the world’s longest shawarma. The current record is set at 42.6 metres, but Fatafeat chef Andrew Mitchell plans to smash that by creating a shawarma 100 metres long with the help of 300 volunteers.
