Festival

I went to the 2011 Auburn Festival today. I'd never heard of it before and learnt it was on earlier in the week.

It was a great cultural mix with all the usual carnival rides, stall holders selling things I'd never buy and a great food selection as varied as Hot Dogs through to Dutch food cooked and served by Muslim girls! I opted for the Philippine plate with a chicken skewer, noodle salad and very meaty spring rolls plus a side dish of a banana spring roll. Very tasty.

There were two entertainment stages which showcased an endless mix from an Oud/wooden flute/drum/accordian trio playing Turkish music through to an Etheopian Gospel choir.

The local dress style for 14 - 20 year old arabic boys was clearly anything with the brand "Henley" written across it.

A great day out.
