St Georges Rd Food Festival a hit

Greater Shepparton City Council festival and events officer Matt Ashcroft said it was a great day for vendors and attendees.

“A lot of the vendors have sold most of their food and the entertainment was fantastic,” he said.

“There's been a really positive atmosphere and it's just a really pleasurable place to be.”

Celebrating six years, the day featured 18 food stalls from local cultures including Vietnamese, Syrian, Afghani, Iraqi, Sri Lankan, Malaysian and Filipino to name a few.

There were also several community information stalls as well as traditional performances to entertain the crowd.

“It's all about different cultures working together,” Mr Ashcroft said.

“We have really good community spirit here and we're already looking forward to next year.”
