The 2026 edition of the Bom Gourmet festival is set to introduce its gastronomical experiences beyond the capital, Curitiba, for the first time. This festival will be held simultaneously in five cities: Cascavel, Foz do Iguaçu, Londrina, Maringá, and Curitiba itself. The event is scheduled to run over four weeks, starting on the 6th of April and concluding on the 5th of May, providing ample time for food enthusiasts to explore the rich culinary offerings in these cities.

Organized by Bom Gourmet, the festival this year features 150 participating establishments across the five cities, offering fixed-price menus that include an appetizer, main course, and dessert. The prices vary by city, ranging from R$ 49 to R$ 124. This initiative aims to promote local gastronomy and attract more visitors to the participating restaurants, enhancing the culinary scene in each of the host cities.

Offering such a wide range of dining options, the festival not only provides economical choices for diners but also showcases the unique flavors and special dishes from the different regions of Paraná. This broader reach is expected to set a precedent for future editions of the festival, expanding its impact on local economies and tourism while celebrating the diverse culinary landscape of the region.
