The culinary delights of the World Spice Festival draw on a fusion of Sri Lankan spices and cooking methods as well as the talents of visiting chefs and the signature spices from their home countries. With mouth-watering recipes from Africa, China, India, Malaysia, Thailand and Australia, visitors and locals savour every last spicy bite.

The 2006 event was held in Colombo and featured top signature chefs from countries that have a tradition of spicy food, alongside local chefs from leading hotels and specialty restaurants in Sri Lanka.

First held in 2005 and organised by Sri Lanka Tourist Board, events take place in various restaurants and hotels throughout the city. There is also a spice bazaar held on the banks of the Beira Lake each evening.
