Footscray will celebrate Indonesian food and culture this weekend as local venue Mr West hosts an Indonesian street party as part of Broadsheet’s Dine Out Festival.
The event will take place on Sunday, 26 July, from 1pm at Mr West, 106 Nicholson Street, bringing together food, music and the local community for an afternoon that reflects the suburb’s multicultural character.
Visitors can expect Indonesian dishes prepared by Satu Jiwa, alongside live DJs and a lively street party atmosphere on Nicholson Street.

Residents and visitors looking for weekend activities are encouraged to head to Footscray, support local businesses and take part in the celebrations.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
