The “Street Food Fest 2026” project is a cultural and tourism event that contributes to the promotion of cultural heritage, local distinctiveness, and creative expression through gastronomy, the presentation of diverse culinary traditions, and accompanying cultural activities. The event provides a venue for citizens, visitors, exhibitors, and participants to gather, thereby enriching the local cultural and social landscape.

The monitoring visit confirmed that the project has been implemented and that activities regarding the preparation of the narrative and financial reports on project implementation are currently underway. Additionally, a media evaluation of the project is in progress, alongside the production of video content to be published on the “Manifest” Association’s website and social media pages.

During the visit, promotional and publicity materials related to the implemented project and its activities were reviewed.

The “Manifest” Association will submit the narrative and financial reports on project implementation to the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports, in accordance with contractual obligations and prescribed deadlines. Through its content, the “Street Food Fest 2026” project contributes to promoting cultural and gastronomic distinctiveness, fostering cultural and social life, and creating a space for showcasing and connecting diverse forms of creative and cultural expression.
