Rice And Beans Festival 2013

Overview

Wynyard Quarter is soon to be transformed for a one-off Latin-Caribbean-Brazilian food and music extravaganza. The Rice and Beans festival will see an eclectic mish-mash of music, culture, art and food as the third instalment of the Silo Sessions at Silo Park.
