Food Festivals & Food Events in Delhi NCR
3 events matching right now across Delhi NCR โ mostly food (2), festival (1).
Delhi NCR's food festivals cluster between October and March, when the weather suits eating outdoors; the rest of the year, food events move indoors to hotels, restaurants and malls. In season, look for weekend food fests and food-truck markets on open grounds and in malls in Saket, Gurgaon and Noida, beer and wine festivals at bars and hotels, and regional-cuisine pop-ups as five-star restaurants rotate guest chefs. Dilli Haat INA's food plaza, with stalls from different Indian states, is open year-round and adds food to its state and craft festivals. Festivals bring their own food scenes: CR Park's Durga Puja stalls in October, Diwali melas in November, Christmas markets in December, and, during Ramadan (in 2027 roughly February to Eid al-Fitr around 10 March), the night-time food lanes around Jama Masjid and Matia Mahal. Guided food walks through Chandni Chowk and Old Delhi run year-round, and the state pavilions at the India International Trade Fair each November double as a regional food court. This page lists food festivals, food walks, tastings and pop-up food markets across Delhi NCR.
