Ñam Ñam Festival

On the banks of Madrid Río, a space will emerge where food will cease to be merely sustenance and become an experience. On 13 and 14 June, Paseo Puente del Rey will host the first independent international edition of the Ñam Ñam Festival, a new-format urban gastronomic event.

The festival is conceived as an open space where cooking crosses the boundaries of restaurants and joins music, live conversations, creative practices and the urban rhythm. The project is backed by the publisher Spainmedia, with the support of Ayuntamiento de Madrid, and its central idea is not merely to showcase gastronomy, but to turn it into a living interaction.

The Ñam Ñam Festival builds its own ecosystem within the city. It will have different areas: a lounge area for guests, the central installation «the infinite table», a bar with signature food and drinks, as well as special spaces where the festival's key events will be held. The programme includes culinary demonstrations, dinners, live podcasts, performances and small-scale stage formats.

Part of the project is dedicated to the city itself. Madrid, with its network of 45 municipal markets, has long become one of Europe's main gastronomic hubs. These markets remain the place where local food culture is forged: fresh produce, small producers, sustainable practices and everyday neighbourhood life. It is precisely from this environment that the festival's ideas and participants emerge.
