HAPPENING 26–28 JUNE 2026 | Asian Food Festival Rotterdam takes over Het Park from Friday 26 to Sunday 28 June, bringing street food, music and entertainment to the green space beside the Euromast. The three-day festival is free to enter and gives you a relaxed reason to head into the park for food, karaoke, live performances and a taste of several Asian kitchens.
The event is being promoted across local listings as a broad Asian food festival, while organiser-linked pages also highlight Japanese and Korean dishes, K-pop, bubble tea and silent disco. So expect the weekend to lean heavily into the kind of food-park atmosphere Rotterdam does rather well: casual, social and fun.

Street food in Het Park
Het Park is the setting for the festival, placing the food stands between one of Rotterdam’s most familiar green spaces and the Euromast. Across the weekend, visitors can walk past stalls serving street food, familiar favourites and more modern food concepts inspired by different Asian cuisines.
Published programme descriptions mention sushi, ramen, Korean BBQ, bubble tea and other street food options. The full vendor list has not been clearly published in one reliable place, so it is best to treat the festival as a wander-and-see-what-smells-good situation rather than arriving with a strict tasting plan.
That may actually suit the setting. Het Park works well for a slower food festival visit, especially if you combine it with a walk through the park, a stop near the Euromast or a lazy afternoon with friends on the grass.
The festival is also free to enter, which makes it easy to drop by without committing to a full day programme. You pay for what you eat or drink at the stands.
Music, karaoke and silent disco
Food is the main reason to go, but the programme also includes entertainment. Local listings mention live performances, a silent disco and karaoke, giving the festival more of a day-out feel than a simple row of food trucks.
The karaoke part is either a brilliant idea or a public safety risk, depending on who in your group thinks they can sing after bubble tea and Korean BBQ. Either way, it gives the weekend a more playful character and makes the event suitable for friends, families and anyone looking for a low-effort summer plan in Rotterdam.
The organiser-linked programme also mentions Asian pop, K-pop and indie tracks, with a general daily programme structure. Specific performers and exact stage times have not been confirmed clearly across all sources, so check the event’s latest updates before going if the entertainment is your main reason for visiting.
For most visitors, the safest expectation is simple: Asian food stands during the day, a livelier atmosphere towards the evening and enough music and side activities to make it more than just dinner in the park.

Check the times before going
The confirmed dates are Friday 26, Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 June. The event takes place at Het Park in Rotterdam and is free to enter.
Opening times are where the online information gets a little messy. Several event listings state 13:00 to 22:00, with Friday starting from 17:00, while another local listing gives 11:00 to 20:00. Because of that conflict, it is smart to check the festival’s own social channels or event page before heading out, especially if you plan to arrive early or stay late.
How to get there
Asian Food Festival Rotterdam takes place in Het Park, next to the Euromast and close to Parkhaven. Tram 8 stops at Euromast, and the area is easy to reach by bike from the city centre, Scheepvaartkwartier, Delfshaven and Coolhaven. Parking nearby is limited, so public transport or cycling is the calmer choice.
