Camberwell’s Dine In Dine Out Fiesta Weekend
Camberwell’s second annual Dine In Dine Out Fiesta Weekend kicked off Camberwell’s food focus for the month of August. Saturday and Sunday August 2 and 3 saw the arrival of the Dine In Dine Out Fiesta Marquee and a whole troupe of promoters, entertainers, balloons and, of course, food.
Firechief served over 1500 plates of their mouth watering meatballs!
Traders from Camberwell’s 150+ food and beverage retailers manned stalls in the marquee offering free samples and larger servings for sale. Firechief sold over 1500 plates of their mouth watering meatballs.
Rainbow Meats carved up hundreds of pulled pork sliders. Michel’s Patisserie pumped out coffees, cakes and piping hot pies. Crust Pizza sold out of pizza slices faster than they could deliver them!
The Camberwell Centre Association and Assemblo would like to thank all the retailers who participated in this great event!
Family Fun in the Fiesta Marquee
As well as showcasing Camberwell’s fabulous food and beverage offering, the fiesta marquee bustled with family fun. Kids of all sizes were invited to decorate cupcakes with brightly coloured fondant from House Camberwell and join the craft table to make wooden spoon dolls.

Our face painter covered the cheeks of Camberwell with butterflies and flowers, lions and superheroes. Balloon modellers, marching musicians and circus performers roved the streets of the Camberwell Shopping precinct bringing the festivities all the way to the top of Burke Hill and right down to the junction. Brightly coloured helium balloons lined the streets and the arm of every child!
