While the exotic wildlife, holy temples, majestic monasteries, and breathtaking sceneries from the savanna to the Himalayan ranges should be experienced physically all the way in Nepal, the annual Nepal Festival in Melbourne aims to bring a glimpse of this cultural experience to Federation Square.
Even though Nepal is quite a small country, it consists of 123 ethnic groups and more than 125 different languages. It also has diverse costumes, rich cultural heritage, delicious cuisine, amazing traditions, friendliest people and vibrant festivals.
On Saturday, December 15, the festival will celebrate the theme of ‘One Country, Many Stories’. The day’s festivities will be mostly about sharing the incredible stories of places, people, cultural heritage, festivals, food, music, and the sound of Nepal for everyone in Melbourne.
Cultural parade, performances, live music will be featured in the event along with a variety of food stalls with Nepalese culinary delights such as momo dumplings and the famous rice lentil and curry, known as dal bhat tarkari. Kids entertainment, arts and craft stalls and other activities will also take place, which will surely be fun for the whole family.
