Willoughby City Council announced the launch of a massive cultural fiesta earlier in the year, which has taken over Chatswood from March 18 to October 22. Dubbed Chatswood Culture Bites, the sprawling arts and entertainment event has featured music, theatre, comedy, dance, children’s shows and visual arts curated specially for the North Shore.
Although nearing a close, Chatswood Bites is still packing a punch with its upcoming culinary food trail as well as three live music performances—Whitney Orchestrated, the Box Show, and Disney Fantasia in Concert Live to Film.
From giant food installations to live cooking demonstrations, celebrity chef appearances and roaming live entertainment, Chatswood’s culinary landscape is being celebrated at Westfield Chatswood. It’s going to be a larger-than-life pop-up of all the cuisines that make Chatswood great. And, best of all is that it’s free. Oh, and there are prizes too.
