The second installation of the regional flavours series, Global Fiesta will bring cooking demonstrations, a world food marketplace, roving entertainment, a cocktail bar and a host of cultural performances.

Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said the event would celebrate Brisbane’s rich multicultural community and encourage locals to play tourist in their own backyard.

“A trip to South Bank Parklands during the Regional Flavours’ Global Fiesta weekend offers people a taste of what they’re not able experience right now while international travel isn’t an option,” Schrinner said.

“The event has an absolute smorgasbord of events on offer that celebrate Brisbane’s rich culture.

“Regional Flavours attracts hundreds of locals because of its tantalising menu of roving entertainment, immersive performances and a colourful street party as well as talented local chefs serving up some of the best international cuisine and cooking demonstrations.

“Josh Lopez and Louis Tikaram as well as Latin Chef, Alejandra Utrera and Indigenous Australian Chef, Aunty Dale Chapman, taking to the stage to celebrate their heritage through cuisine.”

The performances will begin with traditional Indigenous dance from Nunukul Yuggera, before moving through New Orleans jazz performances, Japanese drumming, and select traditional dance performances from Polynesia, China, and Bolivia.

Meanwhile, the Departure Lounge will be set up at River Quay and will host performances by a series of DJ’s across the weekend.

There will also be a sprawling international food market throughout Little Stanley Street as well as an interactive Spice Walk hosted by a mixture of chefs and horticulturalists throughout South Bank’s Epicurious Gardens.

Global Fiesta follows the first iteration of Regional Flavours, Grazed and Grown, a celebration of Australian producers and local artisans, and is the second instalment of a three-event Regional Flavours series.

Global Fiesta is a ticketed event and will run from 16 October to 18 October at South Bank Parklands.
