Spotswood Turns into a Global Feast as Grazeland Hosts the Victorian Multicultural Festival
Melbourne’s love for good food and lively entertainment is set to reach new heights as Grazeland welcomes the Victorian Multicultural Festival from 21 to 23 March 2025. Across three days, this beloved food precinct in Spotswood will transform into a vibrant hub where cultures come together over shared plates and performances.
With more than 50 vendors dishing out international flavours, the event is a dream for food lovers. From Zuya’s smoky African BBQ to Colombo’s rich Sri Lankan curries and Mr Toum’s authentic Lebanese fare, the lineup promises a global feast. Those with a sweet tooth won’t want to miss the famous Toyoki Soufflé Pancakes, a festival favourite.
Beyond the flavours, an eclectic mix of artists will take the stage, celebrating traditions through music and dance. Acts including Siesta Cartel, Sorbo Amplio, 155cm, and Firefly will bring energy and cultural pride to the weekend. The festival kicks off on Friday at 5pm, with performances running through Saturday and Sunday from noon.
Grazeland Director John Forman is thrilled to host the event, calling it an opportunity to showcase the incredible diversity that makes Victoria special. “We’re proud to bring together such a wide range of cuisines and performances, creating an experience that reflects the rich cultures within our community,” he said.
The Victorian Multicultural Commission is inviting attendees to dress in cultural attire, adding even more colour and tradition to the festivities. With the 2025 theme, “Embrace the Journey, Shape Our Future”, the festival highlights the many cultural influences that have shaped Victoria into the dynamic place it is today.
Set against the buzzing backdrop of Grazeland, this festival promises a weekend filled with flavour, music, and shared moments—an invitation for all Victorians to celebrate the cultures that call this state home.
