Indofest 2009

I have mentioned previously SA is dubbed the Festival State. On Sunday was yet another festival; Indofest 2009, an expose of Indonesian culture. Held in Rymill Park in the City, this was a free entry event with performances, workshops, arts and crafts and lots of tasty food.

A Balinese Taruna Jaya Dance - beautiful girls in exquisite costumes; lovely to watch.

The SeOrkesNyah Dangdut band - a highly energetic and entertaining group with a mix of traditional Indonesian and Western instruments.

An appreciative crowd!

BeachILike - there was a Thai festival last year; held at the Adelaide Zoo in September.

See http://www.tsabc.com.au/ for details.

I will keep a look out to see if it is to be held again this year.

It's a bit strange to see Caucasian women dancing a traditional Balinese dance.

Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come back tomorrow!
