Barrio Portuguese Festival

I spent a few hours in the morning in the Barrio Portuguese Festival in Petersham. I walked up the hill to the festival.

On the way I walked through Henson Park for the first time.

And then some images from Marrickville and Petersham.

Finally, I reached the top of the hill and found the food festival. Some of the stalls were the same as the Marrickville Festival and clearly there are stalls that follow the circuit of street festivals around the state. However, there were also some stalls from local restaurants and these are the ones I tries. I had a chorizo roll and Brazilian banana desert for lunch.

I spent some time watching the live band and dancing.

And finally I went home. I took a detour as I was just wandering the streets and found much good architecture and street art.
