SaloFest 2025 — A Winter Festival of Fire, Flavor & Culinary Art 20–21 December 2025 — VELO, Wateringen Large outdoor area • Covered tents • Indoor space • Free parking • Kids under 10 y.o. free entrance Discover a food festival unlike anything you’ve experienced in the Netherlands. SaloFest is not a place for ordinary street food — it is a celebration of culinary craftsmanship, open-fire cooking, and chefs who cook with soul. We carefully hand-select every chef who joins our festival. Most of them are artisans we’ve cooked alongside for years — talented professionals from across the world who now bring their rich culinary traditions to the Netherlands. If a chef is at SaloFest, it means their food has passed our tasting table and earned its place. Expect a journey through authentic flavors: 🔥 Slow-cooked dishes inspired by the Carpathian Mountains 🔥 Real BBQ over wood and charcoal 🔥 Fragrant Central Asian cuisine — plov, manti, samsa 🔥 Nordic dishes with salmon and reindeer ✨ Homemade pies, Christmas sweets and much more All prepared outdoors over fire, under warm tents, surrounded by Christmas lights, music, and the cozy atmosphere of winter. What’s Included in Your Ticket 🎄 1 Glühwein (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) — or children’s mulled juice made only with oranges and natural spices 🥗 1 vegetarian snack A warm, flavorful starter crafted by our chefs to welcome you into the festival. Why SaloFest? Because we believe food is not just fuel — it is art, culture, fire, memory, and connection. Join us for two unforgettable days of winter magic, open-fire cooking, authentic flavors and true culinary passion. 20–21 December 2025 — VELO, Wateringen Large outdoor area • Covered tents • Indoor space • Free parking
