Kamayan Festival


  • Queen Victoria Market, (map)

Celebrate the traditional Filipino art of communal dining at Melbourne’s first-ever Kamayan Festival.

Experience the authentic 'kamayan' style of eating – a pre-colonial practice where delicious Filipino dishes are served on banana leaves with an array of grilled seafood, meat and vegetables, and enjoyed with your hands, creating an unforgettable shared dining experience.

There will also be cultural demonstrations and family-friendly activities at this unique celebration of Filipino food, culture and hospitality. Come hungry, leave with new friends.
