Global Fiesta by Regional Flavours

Overview

UPDATE, August 9: Due to Brisbane's most recent lockdown, Global Fiesta by Regional Flavours has been postponed until Saturday, October 16–Sunday, October 17. This article has been updated to reflect that change.

For more than a decade, Brisbanites have flocked to South Bank for Regional Flavours, the inner city precinct's signature food and wine festival. To the delight of hungry stomachs across town, the popular event has made a comeback for 2021 — and, while hosting one big food fest is all well and good, this year it's doing three separate weekend-long festivals.

So, if you haven't made it along in the past, you have multiple chances in multiple months to rectify that situation this year. The first opportunity already took place in June, and now it's time for the next mini fest: Global Fiesta.

Here, between Saturday, October 16–Sunday, October 17, multicultural cuisine will take pride of place. The event will span South Bank's eateries, as well as a marketplace showcasing international foods. Plus, you'll be able to check out roving performances, hit up a street party and take a spice tour through South Bank's Epicurious Garden.

Also on the lineup: Louis Tikaram, Josh Lopez, Peter Kuruvita and Aunty Dale Chapman, who'll all be involved in some shape or form.

Regional Flavours might be tinkering with its format, but it still all takes place by the river at South Bank. And, if you'd like to hit up one of the mini fest's special events, they'll be more than a few opportunities to dive in.
