Following are a few impressions from my Visit to the 'Gourmet Festival' in the City of Düsseldorf, Germany. Düsseldorf, often Dusseldorf in English sources, is the capital and, after 'Köln' (Cologne), second most populous city of the most populous German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, as well as the seventh most populous city in Germany.
The Düsseldorf Gormet Festival is described as "Europe’s biggest open air event for high-quality and sought after food, non-food and drinks". It takes place along the 'Königsallee', literally 'King's Avenue', an urban boulevard noted for both the landscaped canal that runs along its center, as well as for the fashion showrooms and luxury retail stores located along its sides. Lovingly nicknamed 'Kö' by the locals, the Königsallee is by far Germany's busiest, upscale shopping street.
It was certainly fun to taste and drink our happy way through a number of interesting and delicious foods, sweets, punch and ice creams. I especially liked the colorful food trucks and fun t-shirt wearing vendors and salespersons - very inspiring!
Hope you enjoyed my virtual visit - for more information about the food festival along the 'Königsallee', pls go here.
Andrea, that looks like so much fun, I just love street fairs and markets. Jim and I always enjoyed the open markets when we travelled, so very interesting. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful adventures.
