Victoria Place in Eastbourne is due to host a new food festival later this month.
A Taste of Victoria Place should see local independent restaurateurs showcasing their wide range of global cuisine, along with live music in the Pop-up Park on Tuesday 22 August.
The project is financially backed by the VisitEastbourne Tourism Development Fund.
Council staff say cuisine choices will include Belgian, Greek, Italian, Indian, Cypriot, English and more, as traders "recreate their best dishes as finger food" for trying out in the street.
Organised by Victoria Place Traders, the feast is scheduled to start at 3pm, accompanied by a live DJ set soundtracking global music from many of the national cuisines on offer.
An Elvis Tribute Show will close the event on the Pop-up Park stage from 6pm – 8pm.
Katerina Tutt from Victoria Place Traders said
"We can’t wait to celebrate our international cuisine and show you some of the amazing dishes on offer here in Victoria Place.
"This is the first time we have brought the restaurants together into one giant outdoor dining venue, and we hope this new event gives a flavour of some of the talented teams and culinary creations available here every day in the heart of Eastbourne’s dining district."
A Taste of Victoria Place is one of several projects to receive a share of the VisitEastbourne Tourism Development Fund for tourism initiatives in Eastbourne.
Tourism staff say the £15,000 fund is designed to subsidise new initiatives which help to increase footfall and visitor spend in the town, along with opportunities to improve training, provide research, reach new audiences and support a cultural shift towards carbon-neutral business.
Applications were open exclusively to members of VisitEastbourne, and funding has been made available by repurposing savings achieved following a gradual shift from traditional to digital marketing methods, as well as increased income generation from VisitEastbourne.com business membership.
Councillor Margaret Bannister, Eastbourne Borough Council’s Lead Member for Tourism, Leisure, Accessibility & Community Safety said,
"We are delighted to support this new event for Eastbourne’s hospitality industry.
"Eastbourne is blessed with a superb range of food and drink establishments, none more so than the vibrant offering in Victoria Place.
"If you haven’t yet sampled the delights of many of the Victoria Place restaurants then this is the perfect opportunity to experience the sensational flavours on offer."
A Taste of Victoria Place should begin at 3pm in Victoria Place, Terminus Road, on Tuesday 22 August with free food samples on offer until 5pm.
Live music is scheduled until 8pm that evening.
