About this Event
From the creators of Melbourne’s Asia Street Food Festival comes Colours of Asia – Garden of Wonders, a celebration where Asia's flavours, stories and traditions come to life.
Over two weekends at Alexandra Gardens, wander among handcrafted bamboo huts and glowing lanterns, discover artisan market stalls, and enjoy music, dance, and cultural performances inspired by Asia’s folklore, legends, and traditions.
At the heart of the festival is the Wonders Menu—a collection of signature dishes presented under specially created festival names inspired by cultural stories, hidden treasures, and Asia's diverse flavours. Each dish invites you to try something unexpected and discover its story.
Beyond the Wonders menu, explore more than 200 dishes from over 30 food vendors, including family businesses sharing recipes passed down through generations.
As the sun sets, lanterns and warm lights bring the riverside village to life. Settle in with friends and family, share your favourite discoveries, and enjoy the performances as the evening goes on.
