For two days, the streets of Chinatown in central Port Louis become a pedestrian festival venue. The 19th Chinatown Food & Cultural Festival takes place on 26–27 September 2026, from 12:00 to 22:00 each day.

Visitors can try Chinese and Sino-Mauritian food and enjoy lion and dragon dances, martial arts demonstrations, music, dance and calligraphy. The area around Royal Street is closed to car traffic during the event, so plan to arrive on foot from parking outside Chinatown.

Entry is free: no ticket or registration is required. Food and drinks are paid separately at stalls, restaurants and shops. The detailed programme may change, so check the source before travelling.

Organizer: Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Mauritius.
