Food festival adds to city’s cultural flavour

Churchill Park in Rockingham was transformed into a food lover’s paradise on Friday night as throngs of people attended the City’s International Food Festival.

With more than 25 food trucks set up on the foreshore offering cuisine from across the globe, patrons were spoiled for choice.

A number of cultural performances — including belly dancing and Akwaaba African drumming — were accompanied by free children’s activities.

Rockingham Mayor Barry Sammels said the event has been a hit on the City’s calendar for a number of years and he was pleased at how popular it had become.

Rockingham police officer-in-charge Senior Sergeant Brett Reyne said there were no incidents to report across the events at the foreshore on Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
