XUHUI District has established a series of art festivals on music, food and design in the West Bund area along the Huangpu River to turn the Xuhui riverfront into a new art and fashion landmark.

An international food festival will be held during the eight-day National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays in October, when Michelin-starred chefs from Italy, Belgium and France will cook for visitors, the organizer, the West Bund Development Group, said yesterday.

More than 800 delicacies along with French wines, Belgian beers and chocolates will be served at the festival on a newly opened grassland on 3399 Longteng Avenue, named the Camp 3399, an official with the group said.
