In Good Taste Festival

Cancel any dinner plans you may have for Friday, February 10, because a free food festival is returning to Hurstville with more than 40 different culinary stalls. Pulling together a wide variety of local chefs, the event will serve an extensive program of different cuisine including Malaysian, Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Lebanese, Austrian and Spanish food stalls.

Taking over MacMahon Street from 4pm, the In Good Taste Festival will take the form of an outdoor night market. Arrive hungry and peruse the stalls until that perfect dish catches your eye. Be warned, though — with the number of top-notch options on offer, you may be overwhelmed by choice.

As part of the festival, there will be a free food-based art workshop. If you've got a creative streak, you'll be able to create the next Mona Lisa using pantry products like coffee, sauce, spices, dressing and juice. The workshop is running between 5–7pm, so head down after work if you want to start your weekend by getting artistic.

Those just looking for a hefty feed can roll in at any point, with the festivities wrapping up at 10pm.
