Sumba Food Festival 2025
A Celebration of Flavors and Purpose
This October, the island of Sumba will play host to an extraordinary event that goes far beyond food. From October 4–18, 2025, Cap Karoso proudly presents the very first Sumba Food Festival, bringing together world-renowned international chefs, local culinary talent, and the rich cultural heritage of Sumba.

- Clean water initiatives to ensure greater access for local families.
- Sustainable farming programs to nurture long-term food security.
- Youth empowerment opportunities that open doors for the next generation.
- Community and nutritional education to foster healthier futures.
- Food entrepreneurship initiatives to support local livelihoods.
