Anzac Mall, Beamish Street, Campsie NSW 2194
Celebrating cultural diversity
“The Campsie Food Festival brings people from all different backgrounds to celebrate not only the harmony between cultures but also celebrate our love for good food”
Campsie Food Festival certainly lived up to its name and was a great event to see so many different cuisines available at the stalls. Arriving at around 10.30 am was a good time to have a chance walk around before the crowds got really busy. It's the first time I've been to this festival and definitely will keep in mind for next year. There's plenty of activities for the kids in the park and free cooking demonstrations throughout the day. I tried the Chips on a Stick ($5) for the first time and loved it with the special mix which basically is a bit of everything. Lots of flavour on a deep fried potato can't be too good for me but I can see why it's so popular. I was tempted by the chocolate coated bananas and freshly cooked churros but resisted to save room for lunch with the family at the nearby Albee's Kitchen Malaysian restaurant.
SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Free entertainment and cooking demonstrations, Lots of different cuisines to try, Kid friendly, Fun atmosphere
CONS: Weather dependant, Can get very crowded due to popularity so arrive early, Parking can be a challenge
MUST TRY: Chip on a Stick
VERDICT: A fun and interesting day out for the whole family with lots of food cuisines to tempt you

Great write-up, Simon!
Saw you there but you were too far away and the crowd was too intense so I didn't get to say hi :)
hi irene, those crowds were getting pretty crazy towards the middle of the day. that's a shame we missed a catchup. hopefully next time or take a sneaky photo of me first if you spot me :-)
