The annual community based culinary festival, Taste of Playa, is returning to Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo. Set in the heart of the Riviera Maya, the Taste of Playa International Food Festival aims to promote local traditions and establish the Riviera Maya region as a world class culinary destination. A portion of the event proceeds will be used to assist a not-for-profit food or clean water program in the area.
“Taste of Playa is a culinary event in Playa del Carmen that celebrates the creativity and cultural influences of chefs throughout the Riviera Maya. The event promotes the unique culinary perspectives of local chefs, highlights new event venues that attract a variety of participants and coordinates the efforts of local businesses and municipal governments. Taste of Playa has captured the attention of international media by showing the spirit of multi-cultural cooperation that defines the modern Riviera Maya.”
This year’s event will be held on November 20, 2011.
