Multicultural Harmony Fest, Knox

Last Saturday, Gaz and I spent half a day basking in the sun enjoying food and non-stop entertainment from around the world. This event was held at the Hungarian Community Centre on Boronia Road, Wantirna and organised by the Knox City Council alongwith representatives from the community.

We had great fun browsing the many stalls set up on the big lawn of the community centre. Some of these stalls sold merchandise, some provided information, the rest sold food. Yummy food from all over the world! We tried Persian meatballs with rice, Filipino roast pork (from a spit) with rice and spring rolls, Polish dumplings, Hungarian goulash (it was really delicious!), Hungarian cabbage wrap and German sausage in a bun. To end our meal, Gaz bought a cheesecake which he had most of. I am glad that they have priced each sample plate at $5 because it is a much more reasonable price compared to $10 charged in similar fests in other places like Glen Waverley, Box Hill and the CBD. The price was a big driver for us to sample food from more stalls.

The entertainment was great too! We watched the police band perform the bagpipes, a Persian dance, Indian dance performed by little 'prince and princesses', and Filipino dance.

We really enjoyed our day, and hope that the Fest next year will be as good or better!
