Gand Gourmand - culinary festival

From November 1 to 8, 2026, Ghent will once again be dedicated to culinary craftsmanship during Gand Gourmand. On Sunday, November 1 alone, more than 60 Ghent food makers, hospitality entrepreneurs and producers will be put in the spotlight during the food promenade, in the new Gand Gourmand Hub at NTGent and via special culinary activities. During the rest of the week, the program expands further with workshops, guided tours, tastings, specials and surprising collaborations. Gand Gourmand invites visitors to discover Ghent through the people who give the city its flavor every day: from chocolatiers, bakers and coffee roasters to brewers, fermentation specialists, restaurateurs and innovative food makers.
