The Festival showcased local intangible cultural heritage performances and offered chances for participants to have a taste of the goose dishes.
This particular Festival has attracted participants at home and abroad including Bermello from Ecuador and Twesigye from Rwanda, who said that they were blown away by the pre-prepared food made with goose.
