Surrey Fusion Festival 2013: Food
bySurrey’s annual Fusion Festival is coming up on Saturday and Sunday in Holland Park and I wanted to promote one of our favourite elements of this free multicultural celebration: Food! With dozens of pavilions, each representing a country, the selection of fried, boiled, charcoal-grilled, and slow-roasted goodies is seemingly endless.
The Flavours of Surrey exhibition area, that celebrates food and agriculture in Surrey, will also feature special guests and workshops:
SuperChefs
SuperChefs teaches kids how to cook on the Safeway Celebrity Cooking Stage. Chef Greg Chang will host SuperChefs Cookery for Kids on Sunday, July 21st at 2:30pm and will welcome guests like Wally Buono, GM for the BC Lions and Giulio Caravatta from TEAM 1040 who will teach Italian family pasta-making.
