Lucky Dumpling Market
There's a lot to love about the annual OzAsia Fest—an international arts festival celebrating Asian culture in Adelaide—but our favourite activation is the Lucky Dumpling Market, returning to the banks of the River Torrens.
Delight your senses with sounds, smells and delicious eats at the Asia-inspired open-air food market, with food stalls selling the best street food and drinks from Korea, Vietnam, India, Taiwan, Malaysia, China, Thailand and the Philippines.
Whether it's a pre-show bite or a casual catch-up with friends on a warm spring evening, the live music, DJs, workshops, performances and, of course, dumplings, will keep you entertained into the night.
