Get to know the Festival Volta ao Mundo
You can already tell that the Around the World Festival is much more than a gastronomic event; it’s an opportunity to explore different cultures through cuisine.
With the promise of providing a unique experience, the festival celebrates cultural diversity and the passion for gastronomy, inviting the public to discover the flavors of the world without leaving São Paulo.
According to Sandra Pigato, the festival’s creator:
The idea for the festival came from our desire to try food from different places in the world and we didn’t know where to find it. We understand that each dish has its own history, its own baggage. And, more than just tasting, we decided to share with the public the possibility of getting to know a little more about the cuisine of each country.”
