Get out your diary! The Conseil Regionale de Tourisme (CRT) has announced dates for upcoming events in Fez.
Under the title 1200 years of gastronomic history, the 4th Fez Culinary Festival will be held from 24-26 October at the Batha Museum. Traditional cuisine will be celebrated in various venues across the medina, showcasing Berber and Arabo-andalous gastronomy.
'Cooking can build bridges not only with other Mediterranean countries, but further afield too', says Farid Lahlou of the CRT. Join chefs, cooks, wine producers, artisans, farmers, food researchers, designers, architects and even chemists at this exciting event. Once again directed by food writer Fatema Hal, the Festival's programme of events is under construction, but will appear on the CRT's website soon.
Next on the calendar is the Fez Jazz Festival on 14-16 November. Run by the Spirit of Fes Foundation, the Festival is ever popular. Programme to follow.
