Songkran Festival

On 21 March 2010 Thai Central School joined the 2010 7th Annual Thai Culture and Food Festival at Federation Square. In this event, the School had a stall to advertise its activities to visitors.

We were pleased that Dr. Simon Wallace, the Royal Thai Consul General visited our stall. In addition to the fabulous choice of mouth watering Thai food, the amazing cultural shows, the Thai product stalls, the traditional Thai Beauty contest and the Drum Parades the 2010 Festival at Melbourne's Federation Square featured live performances by the amazing Thai International Dance Group Sbun-Nga direct from Thailand. There was also a thrilling 8 round Muay Thai Kick Boxing competition.


There were two SINGHA Beer Gardens – one featured live music; the other was for relaxed dining. Interactive Thai Cooking demonstrations went on throughout the day. There was a Sunshine Friends Concert for Marysville which featured Normie Rowe, Doug Parkinson, Kevin Borich, Issi Dye, Tony Barber of The Aztecs and Tiara.

Federation Square is at the corner of Flinders and Swanston Streets in Melbourne. The festivities started at 10:00 in the morning and finished late. Watch out for next and 8th event of Songkrank next year always bigger and better.
