I attended this $5 food festival at Tempe Diablo Stadium on Saturday April 23rd. We also paid for VIP passes. We were surprised at how few vendors were there, (although there were more than 9), however, several of them had to wait for health inspection approval, which took up to an hour after we were let in. Many of the vendors had no signage so we had no idea what they were selling. Some vendors charged tax, some did not.
We were there at 11am when they "opened" and we left about 12:30 pm. There were still 2 vendors that hadn't even started cooking yet, and 2 others that had just started, but weren't serving food yet.
Big waste of time and money.
