Sun 23 Sep 2012

One of Sydney's premier cultural celebrations, the Cabramatta Moon Festival is back again in 2012.

Taking place in Sunday 23 September from 11am to 8pm, the event draws more than 90,000 people from all over Sydney who take part in this ancient Moon Festival tradition.

The headline act at the 2012 Cabramatta Moon Festival is Justice Crew. The boys, who won the 2010 series of Australia's Got Talent, will be live on stage performing their latest hit, Boom Boom. Festival-goers will also get the chance to meet the members of Justice Crew.

But there's a whole lot more going on throughout the day, with a jam-packed program of events and activities for young and old. Perhaps the highlights of the day are the moon cake eating competition, the pho noodle eating competition and the prawn peeling competition. These entertaining spectacles are always crowd favourites, and this year you will also have the chance to witness the Papa Roti Bun eating competition from 2.30pm to 3.30pm. If you're feeling peckish, you can enter for you chance to win $100 meal vouchers at Iron Chef Restaurant.

There will be cooking demonstrations by acclaimed chefs from Chengdu, Chef Lin Mei and Chef Zhou Zhang who are here as part of the Sichuan Gourmet Festival hosted by Iron Chef Chinese Seafood Restaurant Cabramatta.

Budding junior cooks can participate in free dumpling making workshops, while adventure seekers can tackle the amusement rides.

Live entertainment will run throughout the day across three main stages. Cong Thanh will host the Cong Thanh Talk Show, Chinese entertainer Master Peng Cheng Mu will excite and surprise with his changing face performance, and there's even a fashion pageant.

Add lion dancing, gourmet food stalls, the children's lantern parade and an 8pm fireworks spectacular into the mix, and you've got yourself one very big day out. It's colourful, exciting, amazing, delicious and a whole lot of fun. For more information about the festival, head to the Fairfield City Council website .
