Get excited Durban! One of KwaZulu-Natal's biggest food, music, and lifestyle events, the Durban Street Food Festival 2026, is gearing up to feed all your senses at Pavilion Shopping Centre from 4 to 6 September 2026.

The festival celebrates the very best of food, music, culture and community!

This year's event will bring together more than 75 food, craft, and lifestyle brands, alongside an exciting entertainment programme, family-friendly attractions, live music and a place to watch the Bokke take on the All Blacks (you can't miss the rugby, right?).

When it comes to the food on offer, festival-goers can expect an incredible selection of international and local street food, artisan desserts, gourmet burgers, seafood, vegan cuisine, authentic cultural dishes, handcrafted beverages, speciality coffee, sweet treats and much, much more.
