| - The family and I went to this today after seeing the advertisements. My fiance was really excited to go, so I agreed hoping this would be a nice break from the norm and a great way to spend an early Saturday Evening.
We arrived right at 4pm, bought our tickets (2 adults, 2 kids - no kids discount $52.60) and entered the festival. We were immediately grabbed by a hard sell timeshare company and it took more effort than I planned on spending to break away.
The festival was relatively empty, granted it was early in the day, and there were a few open booths. One major disappointment is we found no Japanese food, which I was hoping for. Vietnamese, Filipino, and Thai were all well represented, as well as a couple Hawaiian fusions, but that is about it.
The food trucks were definitely a highlight. We both chose Truck Norris and it kicked ass (see separate review). As the day progressed, the crowd only mildly picked up but the entertainment slightly elevated. All told, we left at about 7:30pm after a roughly $220 expenditure.
I believe the event is priced on the high side, but was enjoyable. This is the second annual, hopefully they will gain momentum in years to come. We will definitely give them a shot next year as well.
Note: Bring Cash! ATM fee is $4.50 and no one takes credit!
