All You Need To Know

This year, we’ll be returning to Taman Kuliner for dozens of delicious sessions spread across three food-fueled days. Here’s all you need to know to start planning your visit:

HOW CAN I GET TO THE VENUE?

We offer a shuttle bus service that will take you directly Lapangan Lavolla Lungsiakan (Festival Central Parking) to the festival site at Taman Kuliner. The shuttle operates every 30 minutes from 8:30 to 23:00. Our Shuttle Bus service is available for free.

To beat the traffic, we also provide GRAB Now service located at Puri Lukisan Parking lot, as well as from Taman Kuliner. Visitors can easily find the Grab point at Puri Lukisan or Taman Kuliner and get GrabBike to drop them to festival venues (a regular online taxi rate will be applied).

WHERE CAN I PARK?

We have three parking lots available:

Car parking lot at Taman Kuliner
Motorcycle parking lot (Left Bank of Taman Kuliner)
Central car parking lot at Lapangan Lavolla Lungsiakan (with a free Shuttle to the venue)

However, we recommend using public transport to travel to the festival site. Our official public transportation partner is GrabBike.

Note: Please always put your contact number on your car when parking in the festival parking area. This allows us to contact you if the vehicle needs to be moved.

WHAT ARE THE OPENING TIMES?

Friday, 30 June: 9:00 – 23:00
Saturday, 1 June: 9:00 – 23:00
Sunday, 2 June: 9:00 – 23:00

CAN I CHARGE MY PHONE AT THE VENUE?

We’ll provide charging stations for your phones, but it’s recommended to bring a power bank for your convenience.

HOW CAN I REDUCE WASTE?

We take our environmental impact seriously and aim to reduce waste volumes, increase recycling rates, and improve resource management. That’s why we’re teaming up with Magi Farm this year to deal with food waste at Taman Kuliner, so it doesn’t end up in landfills.

Here are our golden rules for your visit:

Bring your own food container and water bottle and refill at one of our washing stations.
Sort waste consciously to minimize landfill waste.
Make sure to segregate the waste into the available bins: Organic (food waste and organic packaging), Non-Organic (plastic wrap, cans, paper, plastic spoons, glass cups, plastic straws, etc.), and Residue (tissues, paper cups, paper bowls/boxes).

WILL THE FESTIVAL BE AFFECTED BY BAD WEATHER?

We are well-prepared for the unpredictable weather in Ubud and know how to throw a party come rain or shine. Our festival venue at Taman Kuliner has many covered areas in case of rain. Our special events, masterclasses, and panel discussions are mostly indoors, with a few open areas that may be subject to weather conditions.

CAN I BRING MY OWN FOOD AND DRINK?

We’re serving up the best food on the island, so you can leave the leftovers at home. However, we understand the importance of staying hydrated, so feel free to bring your own bottled water. You can also refill it for free at refill stations throughout the festival.

DO I NEED AN EXTRA TICKET FOR ANY SPECIAL EVENT?

To join our Special Events, Open Kitchen Masterclasses, Workshops and Food Tours, you’ll need an extra ticket. These sessions and events are usually in high demand, so book your ticket in advance.

The Food for Thought Stage is where producers and consumers share stories, ideas, and support for the culinary industry’s vibrant future. Click here to buy your Day Passes online.

ARE THERE ANY FREE EVENTS?

This year, our famous Festival Market with over 70 vendors is free to enter. Sample food while enjoying the cooking demos at the Teater Kuliner stage and our nightly music performances and film screenings. Check out our Free Main program for more details.
