Come vibe with us. Learn the history. Feel the music. Taste the food. Be a part of this super intercultural event!

It’s the first edition of “Cultural Bites”, an initiative that aims to present “bites” of the cuisine, culture, and history of different African and Caribbean countries to the wider Bulgarian public and of course to all foodies interested in their culinary traditions. Through these exciting cultural and food journeys we want to promote and celebrate cultural diversity and heritage, while creating intercultural connections and friendships.

The event is also part of the Multi Kulti Kitchen initiative which has been fostering two-way integration and diversity by presenting foreign cultures and cuisines since 2011. It has been recognized as best practice at the national and EU levels, including by the European Commission and European Cultural Foundation in Amsterdam, among others. Since 2015, such local events have been organized all across the country as a social franchise.

The Migrants Got Talent project is supported by the Active Citizens Fund Bulgaria.
