After taking a year off, the Around The World Cultural Food Festival will be celebrated later this month at Oronoco Bay Park on the Alexandria waterfront.
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
- Ben and Jerry’s
The festival will also be held at Freedom Plaza in D.C. on August 28. Admission is free.
