Indian Festival
This two-day event will celebrate Indian culture with specialty foods, traditional music and cultural crafts.
Overview
Indian snacks, Bollywood dancing and the smell of spices are coming to Melbourne this weekend. On July 15 and 16, the Queen Vic Market will be somewhat transformed into the historic Chandni Chowk of Delhi. You'll be able to eat, shop and experience Indian culture without having to fork out money on an immediate flight to India.
At the new two-day festival, you'll be able to sip on a cup of chai, learn how to blend Indian spices at a cooking demonstration and tuck into your pick of curries (dipping fresh roti into them, of course). And to work off all the food you're bound to consume? Try a free yoga class or join in on a Bollywood dance lesson. Your Henna hand art may not last very long, but you'll leave knowing a little bit more about India's rich culture.
