Thai Culture and Food Festival 2015

Overview

Get a little taste of Thailand in Federation Square this Sunday, with the return of the annual Thai Culture and Food Festival. Now in its twelve year, this annual event celebrates the best of traditional and contemporary Thai culture, through a mix of activities, performances and some of the best Thai green curry you've ever had.

This year's festival program includes an array of live entertainment, from music to martial arts. There'll be a Buddhist drum ceremony on Fed Square's main stage, exhibition kickboxing matches at Deakin Edge, and hours of live music at the Singha Beer Garden down by the Yarra. You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy a traditional Thai massage, lest the exertion of the day become too much for you.

Catering, meanwhile, comes courtesy of some of the best Thai chefs in Melbourne; with more than 15 different restaurants operating stalls throughout the day. There's even going to be a cooking demonstration, hosted by TV Chef Duncan Robertson from Duncan's Thai Kitchen. It's enough to have you booking an airfare immediately.

Here's last year's trailer, to give you an idea:
