Zaube Wild Food Festival

Zaubes savvaļas kulinārais festivāls

Cēsis Municipality, Latvia

Sep 12, 2026Expected

Each year, the village of Zaube celebrates foraging and the wild table with its Wild Food Festival. Hunters and chefs prepare game, berries, mushrooms, and herbs in open-air cooking, in a celebration that honors the knowledge of hunting and gathering at the heart of rural Vidzeme.

Media proof note

The Zaube Wild Food Festival record is date-tracked, but stronger reviewed Field Guide media would make it easier to inspect.
