Bean There (Done That) Bean Festival

Sat, Oct. 3, 2026
8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Workshops, lectures, tastings, parties, and experiments. The Food Design Playground will be the home of a large-scale, joyful, and radically playful exploration: How can beans—the most underrated heroes of our food’s future—spark our imagination and change our eating habits?

Forget everything you think you know about beans!
This isn’t some sad little lentil soup in a corner.
This is a vibrant, quirky day full of flavor, art, play, and a touch of chaos.

What to Expect:

🥄 Horny Hummus Workshop – yes, it's exactly what you're hoping it is.

🍸 Bean cocktails with aquafaba foam and butterfly pea.

🌱 Seeding & Permaculture Workshop – Get Your Hands in the Soil and Be Amazed!

🎧 Audio Tasting – listening while you eat.

🖼 Edible Art & Food Design – Beans as a Question, a Statement, and a Snack.

🔮 The Oral Oracle – an installation in which your fate is determined by beans.

🫧 Brainwash Spa – a sensory lecture & tasting full of texture and flavor

💃 Bean Disco – because why shouldn't a chickpea be able to dance?

For whom.

For people who love food and ideas.
For those who prefer to experience things rather than just consume them.
For curious minds, open eyes, and slightly rebellious palates.
For those looking forward to a Sunday that feels completely different from the usual brunch-and-latte routine.

You don't have to be a bean expert.
You don't even necessarily have to like beans.
You just need to keep an open mind.
