The multicultural food festival is now in its fourth year, offering authentic meals, sweets and treats from various cultures. The food is authentic traditional home cooking, made with love by locals from recipes that have been passed down generations. Multicultural dances, performances, henna painting and hair braiding is just some of the activities attendees can experience at the festival.
Cultures individuals can expect to tease their tastebuds with include Indian, Turkish, Greek, Albanian, Vietnamese, Filipino, Afghani and Polish.
Greater Shepparton City Council Acting Director Sustainable Development Geraldine Christou said this event is one not to be missed for those who love food and culture.
“Greater Shepparton is known for its multiculturalism and varied communities, so it’s only fitting we celebrate this by allowing locals and visitors the chance to experience a taste of these cultures.
“What you experience here is different to any other festival, the love for the food, culture and tradition is paramount, with local community groups also using it to give back to their own community. Attendees will be able to enjoy the tastes of the world on a plate and experience the traditions of different cultures,” said Ms Christou.
