Orange International Street Fair

Every Labor Day weekend for the past three decades, the Orange International Street Fair is going down in the downtown Orange Circle.  This is the event to experience a wide variety of food, music and dance from cultures and ethnicities throughout the world.  Even better, what I didn't know, is that the entire event is put on to benefit non-profit charities that help people in our community. 

So why have I never been?  I don't know.  But I'm definitely going this year with my man and our good friends Toni, Rich and maybe a few others..? We will see.  After taking a look at all the street participants and the different cultural foods and entertainment they're bringing - we couldn't be more excited!  Here's the line up of food items each organization is bringing for your taste buds...
