Colours of Asia: Garden of Wonders – Street Food & Evening Performances

Join me for a relaxed Sunday evening at Colours of Asia: Garden of Wonders, a festival of Asian street food, lanterns and live performances at Alexandra Gardens. It's a chance to try dishes you might not order on your own, see some lion and dragon dancing, and chat about it all with new people over dinner on the grass. We'll meet at the Queen Victoria Monument at 6:15pm, say hello, then walk over to Alexandra Gardens together. Everyone grabs their own food from the stalls, and then we meet back at a spot we choose together and sit down to eat while we watch the performances. The firecrackers and lion and dragon dances are on at 7pm. Most people come on their own, so you don't need to know anyone. Entry to the festival is free. This is a casual social meetup so we can go along together. It isn't run by or affiliated with Asia Oasis or the festival. **Who this is for** * Anyone curious about Asian food and culture who'd like some company to explore it with * Food lovers keen to try a few different stalls and compare notes * People who enjoy a lively outdoor evening with music, dance and a bit of spectacle * If you'd prefer a quiet sit-down dinner or don't like crowds and loud bangs, this one probably isn't for you * Solo attendees are very welcome **Links** * Meetup start point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Pf3mSz9Qv2Qgfiyy7 * Festival info: https://asiaoasis.com.au/alexandra-gardens-2026/ * Entertainment programs and activities: https://asiaoasis.com.au/ag26-performance/ * Special highlights: https://asiaoasis.com.au/colours-of-asia-programs-and-activities/ **Timeline** * 6:15pm – Meet at the Queen Victoria Monument and say hello * 6:30pm – Walk over to Alexandra Gardens, grab food from the stalls and meet back at our spot * 7:00pm – Settle in with our food for the firecrackers and lion and dragon dances (7:00pm–7:30pm on the festival program) * 7:30pm – Keep eating, chatting and watching the evening performances * 9:30pm – Meetup ends **Tickets / cost** * The festival program says entry is free. No ticket is needed. * Food is pay-your-own at the stalls. **Bring** * A picnic rug if you have one * Money for food * Water * A light jacket or umbrella, as it can get cool and we'll go ahead in light rain **Expect** * Pace: Relaxed, with just a short walk from the monument to the festival * Vibe: A busy, lively festival evening with music, drums and firecrackers, so it'll be loud at times * Group style: We split up to get food, then regroup and eat together so there's time to talk * Seating: We'll sit on rugs where we can, but we may stand for some performances depending on how well we can see **Important notes** * Running late? Message me on WhatsApp beforehand with your ETA and I'll help you find us. * We'll go ahead in light rain, so dress for the weather. * The firecrackers are loud. If you're sensitive to sudden noise, you might want to sit a little further back. * This is an independent social meetup. It isn't organised, endorsed or run by Asia Oasis or the festival. Please follow the festival's rules and staff instructions on the night. * If anything makes you uncomfortable, message me privately and I'll handle it discreetly. * If your plans change, please update your RSVP so numbers stay clear.
