Would you like to take part in the Fête de la Gastronomie, aka Goût de France/Good France, in 2024? Here are all the details and dates to remember for this culinary event.

For years, it brought together thousands of participants around the gastronomic meal of the French, yet since 2020, there's been no news. What has become of the Fête de la Gastronomie? Will there be a 2024 edition? Here, we share with you all the details you need to know about this famous culinary festival, now known as Goût de France/Good France.

What is the Fête de la Gastronomie?

The Fête de la Gastronomie, now called Goût de France, is an event set up by the government following the inclusion of the French gastronomic meal on UNESCO's List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

The aim of this annual event? To bring together professionals and private individuals to " raise awareness of product choice, quality and the diversity of France's terroirs ", as stated on the website of the French Ministry of the Economy and Finance. To achieve this, a number of activities are planned: banquets, tastings of French products, picnics, film screenings, culinary workshops, actions in schools...

Initiated in 2011 by Minister Frédéric Lefebvre's team, the Fête de la Gastronomie then took on the name " Goût /Good France " in 2017. But since the Covid epidemic of 2020, national festivities have been discontinued. Only the embassies and consulates of 150 countries have kept this celebration of " French-style dining " once a year. A few towns and villages still celebrate it individually.

What is the date of the Fête de la Gastronomie?

As the Fête de la Gastronomie has both ended in 2020 and evolved into Goût/Good France, the date of the 2024 edition is difficult to define. Until now, it has been celebrated every fourth weekend in September. The sixth and final Goût de/Good France celebration will take place from October 14 to 20, 2021. This year, the date of the Fête de la Gastronomie is scheduled for the weekend of September 28, 2024, but the date may be subject to change depending on the government.
