The 2011 Marrickville Festival will be a feast for the
senses, with live music, cultural performances, arts, comedy, kids activities
and a bustling international food market. Come along and join the party on Sunday
23 October 2011 from 11am to 5pm. Marrickville is a suburb of Sydney, NSW Australia.
One of the largest annual festivals in the Marrickville
area, the festival draws crowds of up to 50,000 people each year to celebrate
Marrickville's cultural diversity.
This year's festival will be a feast for the senses. The
bustling festival marketplace will be filled with foods from around the globe
and local tidbits that encapsulate the vibrant, multicultural community we live
in. If fashion and trinkets is your thing, then the festival features many
market stalls full of delights for young and old.
Live music, cultural performances, arts, theatre, comedy and
dance will feature across the entire festival site. Whether it’s on the main
stage or in the bustling markets, there will be plenty of talented performers
and exiting acts to keep you laughing, dancing and clapping well into the
afternoon. The Kids' Play
