China Town Food & Culture Festival

A festival of food whereby restaurants of the region of China Town in Port Louis offer special menus and tariffs. The public are also overwhelmed with the spectacular shows carried out in the streets, decorated with Chinese lanterns, from Chinese troupes as well as local artists such as Kung Fu demonstration and lion dance.

The festival organised by the  Chinese Chamber of Commerce attracts hundreds of Mauritians and tourists every year who come to sample chinese delicacies or watch the colourful dragons and lions that roam the streets to ward off evil spirits. A great way to get acquainted with the cultural and historical landmarks that this little chinese quarter has witnessed so far.
