The venue on the Lower Ground Floor of Subang Parade was sponsored by Subang Parade. Highlights of the 2006 and 2007 Bazaars were on art, crafts, wine, food, education, jewelry, carpets, crystals, wood carvings, batik, household products, etc while in 2008, the highlight was on food from all over the world.

The International Gourmet Festival was held in conjunction with Malaysian International Gourmet Festival , an annual event in the Klang Valley. The 3-day event provided an interesting insight into the culture of the participating countries : Australia, China, Croatia, Italy, Kuwait, Lebanon, Mexico, Morocco, Switzerland, Uzbekistan, France, Vietnam, Zimbabwe and Malaysia.
