We are looking forward to our first exciting cultural food festival on Saturday, March 4 from 9am to 3pm.
Picton Street will be closed to vehicle traffic from 8am to 3.30pm to ensure a safe environment for everyone.
As well as our weekly Saturday markets, we have a large number of groups attending to share their ethnic foods with our community.
Howick Village businesses joining us on the street for this event are:
Marbled Delicatessen are offering their new Latino Hot Dogs
Daisy Chang are sharing their wonderful Asian Fusion cuisine
The Good Home are sharing their special butter chicken dish
Katch Café are sharing their Korean cuisine
Benjarong Restaurant will share their Thai cuisine
In addition to these, we will have vendors along Picton Street with the following cuisines/foods: Lebanese, Iranian, Italian, Colombian, South African, nomad tacos, grown up donuts, gelatos and sorbets, whitebait and mussel fritters, Finnish pastries, pretzels, dumplings, French crepes, falafels and churros, double Dutch fries, organic juices, Tea Thief caravan, alcohol free beverages and more…..something for everyone!
Arts Out East will be joining us with the wonderful Over the Moon art exhibition and entertainment by the Aura Nustantra Indonesian traditional dance group in Fencible Park as well as a diverse range of buskers and musicians entertaining us throughout the event.
Don’t miss the The Great Goblet Race at midday from the top of Picton Street down to Moore Street – a chance for some of our hospitality athletes to run the length of Picton Street without spilling a drop from the huge goblets they will be running with!
Come along and cheer them on! Please contact us if you wish to be involved on the day, otherwise we will see you there.
