Two local action groups, GAL Xlokk and GAL Majjistral have teamed up to organise MeDIETerranea Food Festival, a n event bringing together 33 rural localities from the east (xlokk) and the northwest (majjistral) territories under one roof at the Mediterrenean Conference Centre. The organisers are promising the public a taste for all senses.

Local producers, farmers, craftpersons, musical groups, folklore groups, artists, farmers and professional chefs will be working towards a common aim: the promotion of local food and talents.

The festival will feature an exhibition of locally-grown produce, free tastings of Mediterrenean recipes prepared by Maltese and Italian chefs, animation for children, interactive workshops on various themes, among others viticulture, nutrition, olive oil, honey and beekeeping, organic products and sports.

On Friday, the festival will focus on schoolchildren who will be visiting the fair to learn about the importance of a balanced diet and local produce.

• The MeDIETerranea Food Festival is being held at the Sacra Infermeria Hall, Mediterranean Conference Centre, Valletta on Friday from 9am to 5pm and Saturday, from 10am to 8pm.
