Held under the stars, World By Night will see the historic waterfront gardens and buildings underneath the Story Bridge come to life for the last time before private development; with music, dance, workshops, foods stalls, arts & crafts and information stalls in an exquisite celebration of the important arts, cultural and cuisine benefits that migrants and refugees have brought to Queensland culture.
Stalls will feature foods from around the world, including Pacific, African, Asian, western European, Eastern European, and the America’s. There will also be a fresh food stall which stock unusual foods from Indian spices to exotic vegetables and fruits. Stalls will have information available on the dishes sold about the ingredients and their origins, how these traditional dishes might have been made 150 years ago and how they might have changed to suit the Australian version.
Art and Craft stalls will also feature across the market’s with high quality diverse craft from numerous world cultures on display- the perfect Christmas shopping alternative!! There will also be free Henna Tattooing all night.

Thank you for a memorable evening of song and dance. Thanks to the stallholders for adding spice and colour to the beautiful grounds of Yungaba. I will miss the World Music events at this space and hope the State and Local Governments fund the costs involved in finding a new venue.
