Since 1921

The first edition of the Dijon Food Fair dates back to 1921. Founded byGaston Gérard, then mayor of Dijon, it very quickly attracted large crowds and the attention of the country’s entire food press.

He founded the Dijon Food Fair to ‘revive the ancient culinary and gastronomic traditions of the Province of Burgundy, epitomised by its famous wines and the no less renowned cuisine of its Dukes’.
