Food Festivals & Food Events in Pune
6 events matching right now across Pune — mostly food (3), festival (3).
Food events in Pune are listed below as organisers announce them, from weekend food festivals and brewery pop-ups to regional-cuisine fairs and guided food walks. The winter months are the busiest. Bhimthadi Jatra at the Agriculture College ground, held in late December, is as much a food festival as a craft fair: women's self-help groups from across Maharashtra cook regional dishes that are hard to find in restaurants, and the 2025 edition had 325 stalls in all. From roughly December to February, farms around the city host hurda parties, built around roasted tender jowar eaten with chutneys and curd. The mango season, from April to early June, brings Alphonso and Kesar sales and mango-themed menus. Through the year, hotels and restaurants run cuisine festivals and chef pop-ups, the city's many microbreweries in Baner, Mundhwa and Kharadi run beer festivals and Oktoberfest weeks, and malls host food-truck and dessert festivals. The old city has its own food trail of misal, bakarwadi, mastani and Irani-café bun maska, which walk organisers package into morning tours. Check each listing for entry fees, as many festivals charge a cover that is partly redeemable on food.
