Alongside the enticing aromas and delectable flavours, prepare to be entertained by a lineup of incredible acts that will keep you captivated throughout the weekend. Dezi from Plate of Origin and Dani Venn from MasterChef will show you how it's done at their cooking demonstrations, sharing their secrets and inspiring you to create your own cooking masterpiece. There'll also be a one-day-only lineup of food trucks alongside The Terrace for you to indulge in all the cuisines. Discover the stories that go with the food to gain a deeper understanding of the people who travelled far and wide to call Australia home.

World Fare is more than just a food festival as pulsating rhythms of Japanese drumming, known as taiko drumming comes to play, and transport you to the distant shores of Japan. Sri Lanka will bring their soul-stirring melodies of live music to fill the air, while the Latin-Afro dance workshops will engage our body and spirit, filling it with energy as it connects to the rhythms of the world. Speaking of energy, feel the explosive energy of a K-Pop dance group as they showcase their sensational moves, while the powerful rhythms of Lebanese drumming move your feet and your soul. That's not all the beats that'll be pumping as Micky G will be in the house, spinning tunes on The Terrace, ensuring there's never a dull moment at the World Fare.
