Visitors and locals wander through throngs of hungry crowds snaking their way through a bewildering array of delectable food trucks, stalls and tents amid thumping tunes and, later in the evening, dazzling lighting.

Fresh food and vegetables are also available, and the numerous shops that line Tutanekai Street provide a welcome respite from the milling crowd for souvenir hunters and those seeking a restaurant, rather than a street food experience. The eclectic nature of the weekly festival includes live music from buskers (one playing a Hang to great interest from bystanders) and a colourful tent to one end with a man cheerfully reciting poetry.
