In addition to the restaurants and the stage, the announced program includes free show classes with chefs and industry professionals, producers' fair in the state of Rio, children's area, experiences from partner brands and the festival's traditional Ferris wheel.
At the producers' fair, the proposal is to bring together artisanal items from Rio de Janeiro, including cheeses, preserves, cachaças, sausages, olive oil, biscuits and sweets. It is a part of the event that helps expand the itinerary beyond restaurant operations.
For families, the kids area can be especially useful on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, when the festival opens at noon and offers a larger window before the evening shows.
