The restaurants will be serving up their special treats from iftar until late into the night. Go early to try as much as possible, or visit when the hunger pangs call; you’re sure to find something you will love. And if one visit isn’t enough, you can always return to tick more restaurants off your list.

More than just a food festival…
What else can you get up to here? Plenty! From live performances on the main stage to roaming artists, the energy when you visit will never be dull.
You can enjoy some competitive fun at the Carnival Zone, or have a go at one of the retro arcade classics.
If you want to get creative, head to the Arts and Crafts Hub and create Ramadan-themed artifacts that you can display at home, or even gift to a loved one.
On Friday and Saturday, they host a Community Long Table where, in the spirit of Ramadan, you can mingle with others.
See you there!
