Aceh Culinary Festival

Aceh Culinary Festival 2026 (ACF26) returns as Aceh’s largest culinary festival with the theme “Celebrating The Authenticity of Aceh’s Living Culinary Heritage.” This year, ACF26 presents the Foodscape Jalur Rasa, showcasing culinary treasures from 23 districts/cities and 10 provinces across Sumatra, complemented by 6 Culinary Islands and 6 trend-driven thematic exhibitions.

ACF26 introduces stronger innovations through Digital Gastronomy, chef masterclasses, and premium experiences such as the Secret Dinner. The festival is also more eco-friendly with water stations, waste sorting, and the #BawaBotolSendiri (bring your own bottle) campaign.

Unlike previous editions, ACF26 features the grand Khanduri Aceh 23 Belanga, a spontaneous Seudati flashmob, public co-creation programs, and post-event outputs such as a culinary book, photo series, and podcast, further strengthening its position as Aceh’s iconic gastronomic festival.
