The types of dishes offered at food festivals varies greatly. Some events feature a specific type of cuisine, such as Italian, French, or Chinese. Others focus on the type of food that is in season during the time that the event is being held, such a gathering that celebrates corn or garlic. A food festival may also highlight a style of cooking, like barbecue, or a general concept, such as local or organic foods. Some even showcase green foods in powder form plus other new ways of consuming healthy products without the work involved in traditional meal preparations.
