On a whim a friend and I decided to check out this festival. I had no expectations. We arrived and had no issues with parking in the downtown area which was nice. There wasn't a ton of people here which was nice for us but I'm pretty sure that it wasn't great for the merchants.
I was quite surprised that the festival was split into two areas. The one area was on another side of the main building and the traffic on this side was very light. I feel the entertainment on this side felt left out and possibly wondering why they were not put on the main stage. Although it was much cooler and the seating was nice on this side.
We did eat while we were here. I don't remember the name of the merchant though, I had a 3 item combo for $8, I had the Pad Thai, pork wontons and the beef skewer. The Pad Thai was nice and it had the right amount of heat. The Pork wontons were good and I wished they had come with a sauce. If it was available I wasn't made aware of it. The beef skewer was cooked just right. It had the seasonings of beef jerky. I also had the shaved ice. I liked that it was a fundraiser and the school was able to raise some money. I would've liked to have a had a bit more syrup on the shaved ice but over all it was good.
We walked around and looked at the merchants. It seemed to be a lot of the same type of items so a bit more variety would've been nice.
This event was a nice place to hang out with a friend and catch up. Would I return next year, I'm not sure but probably not.
