Free Workshops and Activities

With something for all ages, Festival of Rice will have free workshops for all including origami, drumming, salsa dancing, fan making, taekwondo, bead making and henna. This event is a welcoming, inclusive space for families, friends, and communities to come together.

By Car

Parking will be extremely limited due to the road closures, the festival and a football game at Unley Oval. We'd suggest looking searching for parking in the backstreets on the southern side of Edmund Ave, or the northern side of Frederick St.

We would highly recommend leaving early to allow extra time, or taking public transport.

By Bus

 Bus Stop 4 on Unley Road will drop you right next to Oxford St and the front entry to the festival.

This bus stop is serviced by bus routes 190, 195, 195F, 196, 196F and 674.

Bus Stop 5 on Duthy St will get you nearby to Oxford St. Just walk around Unley Oval to the other side of Oxford St to find the festival entry. This bus stop is serviced by bus routes 170, 172 and 637.

That’s right, entry to Festival of Rice is completely free to attend and open to all.

Whether you're a passionate foodie, a culture lover, or simply curious to try something new, Festival of Rice invites you to join us for an unforgettable celebration of flavour, culture and community.
