The flavours, colours, and community spirit of Shepparton lit up this year’s St Georges Road Food Festival.
Held on November 16, the festival transformed the St Georges Road Shopping Precinct into a lively hub of culinary delights, cultural performances, and family fun.
For one day, Shepparton became a global village, offering 16 different cuisines and showcasing vibrant performances from 12 cultural groups, drawing an estimated 4000 visitors who enjoyed a world tour without leaving town.
“St Georges Road Food Festival is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our culturally diverse community and discover the delicious foods and flavours available in the region,” Greater Shepparton City Council economic development manager Anthony Nicolaci said.
“This event is proudly delivered by council in order to provide a fantastic event experience for our community and visitors to the region.”
From 4pm to 8pm, locals and visitors alike savoured a diverse range of dishes from food trucks, stalls, and local eateries, all while enjoying captivating live music and dance.
Activities in the Park brought additional excitement for children, with an inflatable soccer arena and soccer darts at Victory Park oval.
This annual celebration once again brought the community together, reminding once more of the rich diversity that Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley have to offer.
