This year’s festival was more successful than ever with almost 10,000 attendees over the five-day event. Thank you to everyone who attended and for following all COVID safety guidelines. We were pleased to be able to host this event in the safest and most responsible way possible.

The purpose of the festival is to showcase the famous Niseko produce as well as the skill and talent of local chefs. The festival also focusses on being as environmentally friendly as possible, with the theme of “Less Plastic is Fantastic” – a slogan which can be seen on the shirts of all the staff and volunteers of the event!
