Join us on Saturday 2 June 2012 to celebrate one of the biggest events in our calendar, the Campsie Food Festival!

Foodies will love Campsie's transformation into a bustling market place, while treating themselves to an array of exotic food from countries like France, Hungary and Portugal as well as some traditional favourites from Japan, Thailand and Turkey.

This festival brings people from all different backgrounds to celebrate not only the harmony between cultures but also celebrate our love for good food.

This year's program will once again feature live cooking demonstrations of which audience members will be able to sample the food and meet our celebrity chef, Heather Jeong!

Join us at 10 am to open the festival followed by fantastic cultural performances entertaining the crowds all day. There really is something for everyone!
