When: Sunday 13th March, an annual event
This event was a magnificent and spur of the moment find today. The Bairro Portuguese Petersham Food & Wine Fair I'm told, is an annual event celebrating the food and culture of Portugal and former Portuguese colonies.
The streets were lined with food stalls selling barbequed sardines, chorizo rolls, Portuguese tarts, espetada (skewered beef), pork belly, coxinha (chicken croquettes), rissole de camarao (prawn rissoles), pao de queijo (cheese bread), churros, bolinho de bacalhau (cod fish) and paella.

To wash down all of this tasty food we had Portuguese Beer of course!
Mouth-watering smells of Portuguese, Mediterranean and Brazilian foods filled the streets while traditional dancing, music and Capoeira performances created a real carnival buzz atmosphere. What a find! We'll definitely be back next year!
