The Guardian is calling on readers to share their favourite food festivals from around the globe. Whether it's a bustling street food market in Bangkok, a wine and cheese extravaganza in France, or a humble community barbecue in Australia, we want to know what makes your chosen event special.
What Makes a Great Food Festival?
