Lyon Street Food Festival: The Gastronomy Capital Celebrates
Created in 2017, the Lyon Street Food Festival was born from an ambition: to bring together in one place the passion for gastronomy, culinary creativity, and festive conviviality. By setting up in the world capital of gastronomy, the festival found fertile ground to develop and become in a few years the biggest food festival in France and a European benchmark of its kind.
Les Grandes Locos: An Exceptional Venue
The festival has found its home at the Grandes Locos, the former SNCF workshops in La Mulatière, a rehabilitated industrial site of 40,000 m² (including 15,000 m² outdoors) located on the outskirts of Lyon. This spectacular venue, with its monumental halls and green outdoor spaces, offers a unique setting for a festival that combines food, culture, music, and celebration.
130 Chefs and 200 Exclusive Recipes
Each edition brings together over 130 chefs from around the world, who offer 200 exclusive recipes created especially for the festival. From creative street food to revisited gastronomic dishes, from world cuisines to Lyonnaise specialties, the culinary offering is generous, inventive, and accessible. The festival highlights unlikely encounters between chefs from different cultures and styles, creating unique culinary collaborations.
Culture, Music, and Workshops
The Lyon Street Food Festival goes far beyond gastronomy. Over 450 free participatory workshops — cooking classes, wine tastings, DIY workshops, sports activities — are offered to all audiences. The intergenerational music program accompanies each day and evening, transforming the festival into a true popular celebration.
A Family-Friendly and Accessible Festival
Designed for all audiences, the festival offers dedicated spaces for families and children, with adapted activities. Accessibility is a priority: dedicated team, priority seating, adapted restrooms, magnetic loops, wheelchair rentals, and assistance dog welcome. With affordable prices and free entry for children under 8, the Lyon Street Food Festival is a truly open event for everyone.
10th Edition in 2026
The festival celebrates its 10th edition in 2026, an anniversary that promises to be exceptional. Since its beginnings, the Lyon Street Food Festival has welcomed hundreds of thousands of festival-goers and has established itself as a highlight of Lyon's cultural and gastronomic life, contributing to Lyon's reputation as the world capital of gastronomy.
