No need to pack your passport, Global Flavour Feast at Bunjil Place is bringing a world of food and entertainment to you!
This family-friendly series of outdoor events will take you on a culinary journey every Friday night in March, to discover the tastes and entertainment offerings from a different continent each week.
Friday 3rd March – Americas
First up is the Americas, with vendors bringing the heat of Caribbean jerk-style cooking, fried chicken and ribs and traditional dishes from Chile and Argentina via social enterprise Wellsprings for Women, who train women from refugee and migrant backgrounds in hospitality skills. Add some live Latin music via Los Locos and you’ve got yourself a fiesta!
Friday 10th March – Australasia
Week 2 will be closer to home, with the theme being Australasia and showcasing the best of Polynesia and Samoa alongside the humble, but classic sausage sizzle – guaranteed to be better than Bunnings.
Friday 17th March – Europe
Week 3 you’ll head to Europe with not just food but dance performances and workshops from Greece, Turkey and beyond.
Australia’s largest Greek dance school, MANAISS will be performing traditional dance and also teaching workshops for those who would like to learn some traditional moves.
Friday 24th March – Africa
The final destination on this delicious journey, is Africa, with a huge line-up that will let you experience taste sensations from South Africa, Morocco, Sudan and Egypt as well as enjoy the exuberant beats of West African drumming and dance.
