Battersea Power Station will once again host CelebrASIA, London’s largest festival of South East Asian food and culture, from Friday 5 to Sunday 7 September 2025.
The free three-day festival brings together flavours, performances, and traditions from across the region, celebrating community and creativity in the heart of London.
Food & Feasting
Street food will take centre stage, with over 30 vendors serving authentic dishes from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, and beyond. New for 2025 is the Feasting Tent, a ticketed dining experience where acclaimed chefs Budgie Montoya, Abby Lee, and John & Desiree Chantarasak will each host exclusive open-fire suppers.
Markets & Workshops
Visitors can also explore a bustling Artisan Market inside the Power Station’s Turbine Halls, showcasing independent makers of food, fashion, jewellery, and homeware. A programme of creative workshops offers the chance to try batik painting, lantern making, rattan weaving, and more.
Performances & Family Activities
Across the weekend, live music, dance, and theatre will celebrate the diversity of South East Asia. Highlights include Indonesian Angklung Orchestra, Filipino dance troupe Lahing Kayumanggi, and a performance from Battersea Power Station Community Choir. Families can also join the Grand Tour, an interactive trail designed to introduce children to the cultures of ten different countries.
Adding to the energy, Team GB’s B-Boy Sunni will run breakdancing masterclasses for young people, while Malaysia Square will host traditional games from across the region.
A Celebration for All
Now in its second year, CelebrASIA has quickly become a highlight of the cultural calendar in Battersea and Nine Elms. From food lovers to families, the festival offers something for everyone.
CelebrASIA is free to attend, with easy transport links including Battersea Power Station Underground station, Thames Clipper, and local buses. Tickets for the Feasting Tent dining experiences are available separately.
