OC Foodie Fest


Mark your calendars for this very fun event. The OC Foodie Festival is coming to the Honda Center on August 28th. 


The OC Foodie Fest is an outdoor festiva and the first ever  of its kind in Orange County. The festival will be  bringing together 50 of the best local gourmet food trucks to one central location at the Honda Center in Anaheim on August 28th. The one-day event will be the ultimate foodie destination, featuring the best in popular mobile eats with a diverse roster of traditional and fusion cuisines, combined with a unique forum to showcase local entertainment & shopping to help support local charities.

Every kind of food imaginable will be available along with entertaiment for the entire family. Pretend City will be providing activities for the kiddos. There will be music, vendors and of course food and drinks! The best part is that the event's purpose is to help support local charities. 

Food Trucks will have special event menus with tasting-sized portions priced at $1-$5, allowing you to try all the delicious varieties of their culinary creations. There will also be  a centrally located beer & wine garden that’s the perfect compliment to your yummy eats. There will also be free samples to help you keep going while you hop from cart to cart. It is going to be an absolute blast!

Thanks!

MsVee said...

My two daughter's are obsessed with cooking shows and food. Last night they made some fancy meatballs and pasta sauce from scratch, and "plated" it fabulously.

The OC Foodie Fest would give them an opportunity to see and taste cuisines from all over the world.
Free tickets from you might motivate them to open a world famous restaurant and name a dish or a cocktail after you.

Bonnie Weigand said...

Well i have two boys who eat me out of house and home. It would be nice to not have to worry about feeding them for once.
Anyways. Love the website. I am always on here trying to find fun things to do with the family.

LauraG said...

This would be a great opportunity to treat the family to multiple different cuisines all at one place for a relatively inexpensive price, which is rare these days!

Yonatan said...
