Asia Oasis Street Food Festival: Love by the Sea

Set in the heart of Glenelg, this vibrant four-day festival focuses on the universal language of food, featuring delicious and authentic Asian street food prepared by passionate vendors. This event brings people together to celebrate life’s greatest gift: LOVE.

Imagine Glenelg in the summer, where one of the world’s most beautiful sunsets becomes even more magical against the enchanting glow of lanterns while irresistible aromas of Asian street food fill the air. Each lovingly crafted dish from traditional recipes passed down through generations tells a unique story. “Love By The Sea” offers something for everyone: catching up with friends, creating memories with family, sharing a romantic moment with someone special, or indulging yourself a little.

Over four enchanting days, the festival explores different forms of love, each day with its own theme:

• Day 1: Self-Love – Treat yourself to indulgent food and uplifting experiences that remind you to celebrate yourself.
• Day 2: Valentine’s Day – Amid the bustling sounds of cooking, eating, and laughter in the festival area, you and your Valentine can pre-book a romantic dining experience on a private beachfront. This unique setting, decorated with cherry blossoms, bamboo umbrellas, and glowing lanterns, offers a taste bud adventure with a buffet featuring over five Asian cuisines. Pre-booking is required, so stay tuned for further announcements and details.
• Day 3: Friendship – Gather your friends and enjoy a special shared menu. Complete your celebration with a complimentary friendship ribbon to hang on the cherry blossom tree.
• Day 4: Family – Celebrate family with traditional games, heartfelt stories, and comforting dishes that feel like a warm hug from home. Conclude your family celebration by hanging a complimentary colourful paper crane on the cherry blossom tree as a beautiful way to pray for peace and harmony for all families worldwide.

The best part is that each day offers a unique experience. With over 20 vendors providing more than 100 dishes, you’ll need multiple visits to sample all the culinary delights. Every day brings a fresh chance to dive into the delightful world of love through food! And let’s not forget the vibrant energy of cultural and modern performing arts!
