About this event

Over ten days, Foodtura turns restaurants, farms, urban gardens and cultural venues across Frankfurt into a decentralised lab for sustainable eating. At its heart are around 50 hands-on City Experiences: you might press apple juice at the Dottenfelderhof farm, try lacto-fermentation in a greenhouse, dig potatoes on an organic field, cook a multi-course dinner with rescued ingredients, or taste natural wines at a neighbourhood table. A pop-up kitchen (Frankfurter Stadtteilküche) runs daily, serving shared meals made from surplus food, and on Saturdays the Playground market at Massif Central brings together stalls, mini-workshops and tastings. Families are well looked after: the Familiensonntag at the Die Kooperative city farm is a culinary fest for all ages, and there’s kids’ apple pressing, potato digging and a fermentation workshop for primary‑school children. For professionals, the one‑day GastroCon on 21 September is a conference on the future of owner‑operated restaurants, tackling digitalisation, climate adaptation and community building. Evenings are social: a mystery‑ingredient cocktail night, a pizza party at an old rope factory, the opening with DJs, and a micro‑neighbourhood festival in Offenbach. Because everything is spread across the city, you naturally end up chatting to Dottenfelderhof producers, KlaaKarott co‑op members or chefs from small Frankfurt kitchens – a curiosity‑driven, not preachy, way to discover how good a regional, climate‑conscious diet can taste.
