Trying new foods — or savoring old favorites — is one of the best parts of traveling. And it's more immersive at a food fair or festival, where you can meet local chefs and producers and mingle with like-minded foodies. Many of these events have an important place in a destination's culture, whether it's the Maine Lobster Festival, the Pizza Village in Naples, Italy, or the celebration of all things deep-fried that is the Minnesota State Fair. Mouth watering yet? Get ready to dig in at one of these gastronomic affairs.
