Festival of World Food

Marlay Park, Saturday and Sunday, October 6th and 7th

Come and visit this magnificent festival, a must for anyone vaguely interested in food, health, and gourmet experiences.

There will be over 40 vendors, representing countries such as Japan, Spain, Algeria, Thailand, Ireland, Germany, Hungary, France, Italy, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Lebanon, Palestine, and many many others. There will be butchers, bakers, farmers, gluten-free options, farmhouse ice-cream, farmhouse cheese, and environmentally friendly stalls.

An event for all the family; bring your children to the ‘decorate your own cupcake’ stall, or to the origami workshop, or the the National Childrens Hospital fund raiser, where kids pay to play a game and can win prizes.

Get your own hands involved in the on-going sushi making workshop where you can make a sushi roll, and bring it home. There will be free cookery demonstrations throughout both days, to include pasta making, sausage making, Thai, Caribbean, and vegan.

On Saturday afternoon, witness a Mayan earth oven demonstration, with cochinita pibil - pork wrapped in banana leaves - cooked on hot stones in the earth. There will be a demonstration of maize tortilla making also. We’ll have live South American music to accompany this cultural event.

On Sunday afternoon, come and participate in a real hoe down. There will be a pig roast, served along side corn on the cob, baked potatoes, with live Bluegrass music to transport you to another continent.

There is a designated arts and crafts area, where you can buy jewellery, books, plants, clothing, and many other interesting things.

Come hungry, and bring your shopping list. This will be a shopping experience like no other.

Thinking about heading along on the Sunday, if anyone else is interested.
