It’s the first year that the annual event will be hosted in Alexandria, and it will feature more than a dozen food, dessert and smoothie vendors making dishes from around the world.
“This pandemic changed our lives and the way we look at tomorrow in a drastic way,” wrote event organizers on Facebook. “We should never take anything for granted, so while we have this opportunity to host the event in a safe way for everyone- a large, spacious park, we hope to see you on July 31st at Oronoco Bay Park.”
Food trucks and vendors include:
- Huascaran Restaurant — Peru
- JEMS Catering Caribbean Cuisine — Jamaica
- Kono Pizza — Italy
- Ozfeka Catering — Turkey
- Kruba DC – Japan
- Bli Man Kitchen — Indonesia
- Buddin’ Bakery

The festival will also be held at Freedom Plaza in D.C. on August 28. Admission is free.
