Time Out says

One of the northside’s favourite food markets is throwing a giant fiesta this November. After a five-year hiatus, Preston Market will once again host Latin Day – a celebration of all things Latin American.

The free, one-day festival has lined up loads of family-friendly activities, traditional entertainment and food to ensure all visitors have a bueno día. There’s no passport needed for this international adventure: countries represented in the day’s events include Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala, Colombia and more.

Colourful Brazilian samba dancers will take to the stage just like a real Carnivale and salsa dancers will put on a show that's truly fuego. Plus, a three-piece mariachi band will bring plenty of musical fun to the event that will get crowds moving. 

And of course, expect to feast on authentic Latin American dishes like Brazilian barbecue, Colombian pandebono, churros, Venezuelan pastelitos and tequenos and lots more delicious and authentic fare. 

So for a fun-filled day that's free to attend, head to Latin Day on Sunday, November 17 at the Preston Market from 10am to 3pm. Find out more here.
