Lyon Street Food Festival 2027 – France

What to expect in 2027

Lyon Street Food Festival 2027 returns to the Grandes Locos in La Mulatière, just outside central Lyon, for four days of street food, gastronomy, music, workshops, cultural activities and live entertainment. The festival is scheduled for June 10–13, 2027, continuing an event concept that brings French and international chefs together in a large-scale food and culture environment. The official website already confirms the 2027 dates, while the detailed chef lineup and full daily programme are expected to be released closer to the event.

The festival is much more than a collection of food trucks. Its programme combines restaurant-quality cooking, international street food, culinary demonstrations, hands-on workshops, concerts, artistic performances and themed food areas. Previous editions have featured more than 100 chefs and hundreds of workshops and activities across the festival site.

The 2027 experience is expected to follow the festival’s established “food, culture, music and party” format. Visitors can move between food areas, watch chefs cooking, join workshops, discover international cuisines and enjoy concerts and performances throughout the day.

The Grandes Locos site gives the festival considerable space, with more than 40,000 square metres used during previous editions, including approximately 15,000 square metres of outdoor festival space. The site is divided into dedicated areas so visitors can create their own culinary and entertainment itinerary.

Event dates

Lyon Street Food Festival 2027 takes place from June 10–13, 2027.

The official festival website currently confirms the four-day 2027 edition, but the complete daily opening schedule and session structure have not yet been published for the new edition. The 2026 format used evening opening hours on Thursday and Friday and longer daytime sessions on Saturday and Sunday.

The previous format also used entry sessions on Saturday and Sunday to help manage visitor flow. These sessions controlled the time visitors could enter but did not limit how long they could remain inside once admitted.

Visitors planning their trip should check the official 2027 schedule once the full programme is released, particularly if they want to attend specific chef appearances, workshops or concerts.

Venue & festival site

The festival takes place at Les Grandes Locos, located at 10 Rue Gabriel Péri, 69350 La Mulatière, near Lyon.

Les Grandes Locos is a large former industrial railway site that has been transformed into a cultural and events destination. Its large halls, outdoor areas and distinctive architecture give the festival space for restaurants, stages, workshops, bars and themed culinary zones.

Previous editions used more than 40,000 square metres of festival space, including extensive outdoor areas. The venue has been developed into a major cultural destination and provides a setting suited to the festival’s combination of food, music, art and urban culture.

Previous festival maps have included dedicated areas such as the Kitchen Lab, Urban Stage, Live Stage, Family Corner, BBQ Corner, Beer Fest, Cocktail Garden, Wine District, Kitchen and Food Club, along with workshops and partner spaces.

The large site means visitors should expect to walk between different food and activity areas. A festival map is useful for locating chefs, workshops, stages, bars, toilets, accessibility facilities and other services.

Full food & drink programme

The culinary programme is the heart of Lyon Street Food Festival. The event brings together chefs from Lyon, other parts of France and international destinations, creating a large-scale tasting route rather than a conventional restaurant experience.

Previous editions have organised the food programme into themed destinations and culinary zones such as:

• Festin Français
• Visit Flanders
• Little Italy
• Asia Street Market
• BBQ Corner
• Cantina Latina
• Sugar Circus
• Street Food Stories
• Vallée de la Gastronomie
• International guest cuisines
• Regional French specialities
• Vegetarian and flexitarian food
• Desserts and pastry
• Coffee and chocolate
• Wine and beverage areas

The exact 2027 restaurant and chef lineup has not yet been published, but the official festival describes its concept as bringing together around 100 French and international chefs. The programme is designed to change from one edition to another, with new regions, destinations and chef profiles introduced each year.

The festival’s culinary philosophy also connects food with travel. Instead of focusing exclusively on Lyon cuisine, the programme creates a culinary road trip through France and the world.

Featured foods & specialties

Visitors can expect a broad range of street food and contemporary restaurant dishes. The festival’s previous programmes have included French classics, international street food, grilled foods, Asian dishes, Latin American preparations, Mediterranean cuisine, vegetarian recipes, pastries, chocolate and speciality coffee.

Examples from previous programmes include:

• Mexican tostadas
• Korean seafood dishes
• Montbéliard sausage preparations
• Gyros
• Burgers
• Italian bruschetta
• Vegetable-based dishes
• Fresh and plant-based cheeses
• Chocolate desserts
• Brownies
• Pastry creations
• International small plates
• BBQ dishes
• Regional French cuisine

The festival also gives visitors opportunities to discover more specialised culinary products. Previous workshop programmes included Fourme d’Ambert cheese production, Valrhona chocolate, speciality coffee, wine, sake, plant-based food and regional ingredients.

Because dishes are generally served in tasting formats, visitors can try several different specialities during one visit instead of committing to a complete meal at one restaurant.

Restaurants, vendors & producers

Lyon Street Food Festival works with chefs and restaurants from Lyon, France and international destinations. The lineup changes between editions, and the organisers specifically state that each edition renews part of its chef selection to create a different experience for returning visitors.

Previous editions have included established Lyon restaurants, young chefs, international chefs, street-food specialists and guest culinary organisations.

The programme has featured spaces representing:

• French restaurants
• Lyonnais chefs
• International restaurants
• Food trucks and street-food specialists
• Independent producers
• Pastry chefs
• Chocolate specialists
• Coffee roasters
• Cheese producers
• Beverage producers
• Culinary schools
• Food brands and partner organisations

Previous workshop participants and partners have included Institut Lyfe, Valrhona, Loutsa Torrefacteur, Fourme d’Ambert, Tefal, Moulinex, Metro and other culinary organisations.

The final 2027 restaurant and producer list should be checked through the official programme because the festival intentionally refreshes its culinary lineup each year.

Wine, beer & beverage selection

Drinks are an important part of the festival, with dedicated areas and workshops covering wine, beer, cocktails, coffee and other beverages.

Previous festival layouts have included a Wine District by Côtes du Rhône, Beer Fest, Cocktail Garden, Mixo Club, Café and Chocolate workshops, as well as beverage-focused demonstrations.

Wine programming has included tastings and educational sessions connected with French wine regions. Previous programmes also included Bordeaux wine experiences and food-and-wine pairing.

Beer lovers can visit the Beer Fest area, while cocktail enthusiasts can explore the Cocktail Garden and Mixo Club.

Speciality coffee has also become part of the festival’s educational programme. Previous workshops introduced visitors to speciality coffee, slow coffee preparation and coffee-and-chocolate pairings.

The festival operates a cashless payment system. Food, drinks and other purchases inside the festival are paid using the festival’s cashless card rather than cash. The previous edition charged approximately $1.14 for the first activation of the cashless card, based on the published €1 activation fee.

Tastings, cooking demos & workshops

Workshops are one of the defining features of Lyon Street Food Festival. Previous editions offered hundreds of culinary activities covering cooking, pastry, coffee, chocolate, wine, beer, cocktails, cheese and international cuisine.

The workshop programme has included activities such as:

• Cooking demonstrations
• International cooking classes
• Pastry workshops
• Coffee tastings
• Chocolate workshops
• Wine tastings
• Food-and-wine pairing
• Sake discovery
• Cocktail workshops
• Cheese-making demonstrations
• Vegetarian cooking
• BBQ demonstrations
• Kitchen equipment workshops
• Family cooking sessions

The Kitchen Lab has previously hosted hands-on sessions such as Korean seafood cooking, sausage-based recipes, burger preparation and culinary techniques.

The festival also includes dedicated educational spaces. Previous editions featured the École de Cuisine Gourmets of Institut Lyfe, where visitors could learn recipes from professional chefs.

Workshop access has generally been included with festival admission, but places can be limited. In the previous edition, visitors were asked to go directly to the relevant workshop area and join the queue, with places allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

How to get there

Les Grandes Locos is located in La Mulatière, immediately south of Lyon and close to the Oullins transport hub.

The simplest public transport connection in the latest official information is Metro B to Gare d’Oullins. From there, visitors can continue toward the festival site on foot or by connecting bus services.

The festival also provides bicycle access and bicycle parking. Vélo’v services are available around Oullins Gare, and the organisers have previously offered Freevelo’v collection at the festival for eligible visitors who reserve in advance.

Visitors arriving from central Lyon should allow additional travel time during busy festival periods, particularly for evening sessions and weekend entry.

Public transport & parking

Public transport is strongly integrated into the festival’s access arrangements.

The latest official information lists Metro B with a stop at Gare d’Oullins. Several TCL bus routes also serve the Gare d’Oullins area, including:

• Bus 6
• Bus 6E
• Bus 11
• Bus 12
• Bus 14
• Bus 15
• Bus 17
• Bus 165
• Bus 245

The festival also provides bicycle parking and access to Vélo’v services around Oullins Gare.

For drivers, the organisers recommend using Park & Ride facilities. The St Genis-Laval–Hôpital Sud Park & Ride is connected to the venue by Metro B, with the festival information describing it as two metro stops from the site.

Dedicated accessible parking is available at 4 Rue Gabriel Péri, 69350 La Mulatière, with access from Quai Pierre Semard.

Accommodation areas

Visitors can stay in central Lyon and use public transport to reach Les Grandes Locos.

The Oullins and La Mulatière areas are particularly convenient for visitors who want to minimise travel time to the festival. Lyon’s central districts provide a larger selection of hotels, apartments and other accommodation options.

The Presqu’île, Vieux Lyon, Perrache and Part-Dieu areas are practical bases for visitors who want to combine the festival with sightseeing and dining elsewhere in Lyon.

Staying close to a Metro B connection can be especially useful because Gare d’Oullins provides one of the main public transport links used to reach the festival.

Visitors attending late evening programmes should check the final TCL timetable and plan their return journey before entering the festival.

Food & drink highlights

The main attraction is the sheer variety of cuisines available in one location. Lyon Street Food Festival presents food as a cultural journey, with chefs and culinary traditions from France and around the world.

Previous editions have featured themed areas such as Festin Français, Little Italy, Asia Street Market, Cantina Latina and Street Food Stories. These zones give visitors a way to explore different culinary cultures without leaving the festival site.

The festival also creates dedicated spaces for specific interests. BBQ Corner focuses on grilled food, Sugar Circus highlights sweet creations, the Wine District focuses on wine, Beer Fest celebrates beer, while the Cocktail Garden and Mixo Club provide a drinks-focused experience.

Food education is another highlight. Visitors can learn about cheese production, chocolate, coffee, international cooking, pastry, wine and other subjects through workshops and demonstrations.

The combination of tasting, education, music and cultural programming gives the festival a broader identity than a conventional street-food market.

Accessibility

The festival provides dedicated accessibility facilities for visitors with reduced mobility.

The official information lists a dedicated PMR/PSH parking area at 4 Rue Gabriel Péri, with access through Quai Pierre Semard.

The previous ticket system also provided a reduced PMR/PSH admission category that allowed two accompanying people to enter free alongside the eligible visitor. The published 2026 arrangement should be treated as a previous-edition reference until the 2027 ticket information is released.

The festival map includes an accessibility reception area and PMR/PSH facilities. Previous maps also identified accessible services within the main festival layout.

Visitors requiring specific assistance should contact the festival before arrival so the latest access arrangements can be confirmed.

Best days to attend

The best day depends on which part of the festival programme a visitor wants to experience. The chef lineup, workshops and performances change throughout the festival, so the final 2027 daily programme should be checked before selecting a ticket.

Thursday and Friday have traditionally focused more strongly on evening activity, while Saturday and Sunday provide longer daytime access. The 2026 opening schedule used evening hours on Thursday and Friday and daytime-to-late-evening sessions on Saturday and Sunday.

Weekend visitors can combine food tastings with family activities, workshops and performances throughout the day.

Visitors primarily interested in culinary workshops should study the workshop timetable first because many sessions have limited capacity and operate on a first-come, first-served basis.

Visitors looking for the widest possible food exploration may prefer a longer visit or four-day pass, allowing them to return to the site and experience different culinary areas.

Previous year’s highlights

The 2026 edition marked the festival’s 10th edition and brought a large programme of chefs, food concepts, workshops, concerts and artistic performances to Les Grandes Locos.

The official archive promoted approximately 130 chefs, more than 450 participatory workshops and around 60 concerts and artistic performances across the edition.

The 2026 food programme included themed destinations such as Festin Français, Visit Flanders, Little Italy, Asia Street Market, BBQ Corner, Cantina Latina, Sugar Circus, Street Food Stories and Vallée de la Gastronomie.

The workshop programme covered an unusually broad range of subjects. Visitors could learn about speciality coffee, chocolate, cheese, wine, cooking, pastry, Korean cuisine, Italian bruschetta, Mexican tostadas, plant-based food and professional culinary techniques.

The festival also included dedicated areas for wine, beer, cocktails, BBQ, family activities and live entertainment. The official site describes the event as a meeting point for chefs, artists, performers and festivalgoers across more than 40,000 square metres of space.

The 2027 edition continues the festival’s established food, culture, music and party concept, with the new programme expected to introduce another selection of chefs and culinary destinations.
