Your $5 entry fee will go toward a monetary donation to local food pantries. Attendees are encouraged to bring a nonperishable food item to help restock dwindling food pantry shelves this summer.
On top of an abundance of foods to try, your kids will have ton of fun stuff to choose, all for free! Face painting, games, a kids' DJ, an obstacle course and much more will keep the wee ones entertained while the parents samples hundreds of offerings from around the world.
