Astana
Bai Qymyz Gastrofestival takes place this summer in Astana, celebrating Kazakh traditions and culture through the lens of kumis — a fermented mare’s milk cherished for its distinctive taste and deep cultural roots. The festival brings together gastronomy, art, and national customs in a lively, engaging atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy kumis tastings, a contest for the best producers with awards, traditional-style fashion shows, a themed conference, and a vibrant gala concert featuring well-known performers. The main highlight is the interactive guest voting for their favourite producer, allowing every visitor to take part in the spirit of the festival.
