There is even a contest for the wildest recipe. This year it will take place on Saturday, the 8th of March. Some foods that you may find there or sometime in the future include:

The festival started with a crowd of 1800, it has now grown to 22500!
In addition to the food there is a variety of entertainment such as bands, comedians and dancers.
You can even get creative and join in the costume competition!

I hope that one day I will be able to experience the wildness of this festival!
