Food festivals have made planning mother-daughter trips a breeze.


The built-in itineraries at food festivals reduce the stress of planning.

When I first started traveling with my mom, planning was extremely stressful, especially because we have different energy levels and physical abilities.

I walk for miles whenever I solo travel, but my mom — who’s in her 60s — isn’t always able to. So, I have to factor in accessibility and transportation options while planning, which sometimes limits my options.

Attending food festivals, however, alleviates some of the pressure of planning, as most events present a well-balanced, already-curated itinerary.

For instance, we traveled to Hawaii’s Big Island at the Mauna Lani resort for the annual Culinary Classic, a festival celebrating all things food and drink.

Because it was hosted at the resort, there was no need to walk long distances, rent a car, or rely on GPS directions.

In our downtime, we had access to snorkeling gear, canoes, and thatched-roof palapas to relax under. On a sunrise canoe trip, we observed dolphins swimming and admired the distant silhouette of the Mauna Kea volcano.
