Thousands enjoy the Campsie Food Festival
2009 marked the 11th year that we've celebrated the Campsie Food Festival and it really is getting bigger and better every year, with a crowd of over 15,000 food lovers joining in the fun on the day!
Campsie was overflowing with visitors from all over Sydney, treating themselves to an array of flavours from around the world.
Saturday's Festival has made me even prouder of our City. People from all parts of Sydney made their way to Campsie to sample the cultural harmony we've achieved in our community.
More than 60 stalls lined Beamish Street dishing out exotic food from countries like France, Hungary and Portugal as well as some traditional favourites from Japan, Thailand and Turkey.
The range of foods on display is a true reflection of the multiculturalism we live with here in the City of Canterbury everyday.
A definite favourite with the crowd were the live cooking demonstrations by celebrity chefs Fast Ed from Better Homes and Gardens and Luke Nguyen from the award winning Red Lantern Restaurant in Surry Hills.
Students from All Saints Grammar almost upstaged our celebrity chefs as part of the 'Kids in the Kitchen' segment, as they showed us how easy it is to cook healthy food.
There were also some fantastic cultural performances entertaining the crowds all afternoon from our Columbian Folk Dancers to the Festival favourites the colourful Sydney Korean Seniors Dance Group.
There were was really something for everyone with rides for children and the kids cooking corner giving children an opportunity to get their hands dirty.
I'd like to thank all the sponsors, stallholders, volunteers and staff of Council who worked so hard to make the 2009 Campsie Food Festival such a great success. Many has said that they can't wait until next year's Festival.
The 2009 Campsie Food Festival was proudly sponsored by Canterbury Bankstown Express, Oasis Hotel Campsie, Miele Australia, Lebara Mobile, Commonwealth Bank, Campsie RSL, Canterbury Bulldogs League Club, Aussie Home Loans Campsie, Oriental Merchant, Ayam and Franklins.
