Speaking at the presser on May 5 in Hanoi, Michael Behrens, chairman of EuroCham, said this year’s event is expected to be bigger and better than ever.

“We estimate that 1,300 guests will attend,” said Mr Behrens, and we’ve rounded up as many talented chefs from leading hotels and restaurants in Hanoi that we could find to put on a true culinary feast.

In addition to the food, the festival will include a vendors’ area, musical and folk dance performances, frozen food shows, lucky draws for cash and prizes, along with numerous children’s activities.

Tickets to the extravaganza are available now at the EuroCham office in Hanoi located at GF Sofitel Plaza, 1 Thanh Nien Street or they can be purchased at the gate on the day of the event.

Admission to the event is US$18 for adults including coupons for food and drinks. Entry is free for children under the age of seven.
