What is D*NA?
D*NA Festival Dénia is a gastronomic event that brings chefs, producers, artisans, restaurateurs, and everyone involved in the growth of local products and gastronomy in the Marina Alta region together at the same table.
The food festival is held in a unique setting, right by the beach, on the promenade of Marineta Cassiana. Each year, it features national and international culinary stars. Chefs such as Quique Dacosta, Albert Adrià, Ricard Camarena, Mª José San Román, Vicky Sevilla, Jordi Cruz, Susi Díaz, Dani García, Ángel León, Pepe Rodríguez, Paco Torreblanca and Begoña Rodrigo. have all graced D*NA. As we mentioned, these are true stars worthy of Marineta Cassiana.
This year, we’re once again sitting at the table for the new edition of the D*NA Festival 2024.
On this occasion at D*NA, we’ve turned out sights from the sea to the country. And from there, we’ve seen that our producers and farmers know how to cultivate the best qualities in their products
On 28th and 29th September, the D*NA Festival Dénia will be a celebration for the garden.
