Thai Grand Festival
The free two-day event is one of the largest cultural festivals in town, taking place at the heart of Darling Harbour in Tumbalong Park.
Discover an incredible selection of authentic Thai street food, traditional delicacies, and locally made Thai products across bustling market stalls. Enjoy crowd favourites such as Pad Thai and Khao Soi, the iconic creamy coconut curry noodle soup, alongside an irresistible range of traditional Thai desserts. Treat yourself to coconut pandan ice cream or indulge in Khao Niew Mamuang—Thailand's famous sticky mango rice served with sweet condensed milk.
Beyond the food, immerse yourself in the rich traditions of Thailand with spectacular cultural performances, vibrant dance displays, and live concerts featuring contemporary Thai artists throughout the weekend.
