It is not called Feast for nothing – every September, the Feast festival brings just that – a feast of food and dance to Campbelltown.
Well, Feast is on again this year, and locals and their friends are invited to join a celebration of cultural food and dance at Redfern Park, Minto on Saturday, September 19.
From 2pm to 9pm they will be able to enjoy the sights, sounds and tastes of global cultures with food stalls, live performances and kids’ activities to enjoy.
The aromas of the food being cooked around the venue are just a bonus for Feast visitors.
“Feast is a great opportunity for everyone to come together at Redfern Park and experience the many cultures and traditions that make up Campbelltown,” says Mayor Darcy Lound.
“It’s been wonderful to see the support for this event grow each year, so I look forward to seeing everyone come together again for a great day of cultural performances, delicious food and kids’ activities in the heart of Minto,” Cr Lound said.
Cultural food and drink vendors will be available at Redfern Park throughout the event, offering a selection of traditional cuisine and desserts from just about every corner of the globe.
Visitors are encouraged to bring picnic blankets and chairs to the centre stage, where they can enjoy a full program of cultural performances featuring traditional music, dances and outfits.
One of the highlights of the Feast festival is the flag procession representing more than 40 cultures from across Campbelltown LGA.
Young residents take part in the flag parade.

- Mandala Workshop
