One of the best parts about the International Festival is the food!

When you go to the International Festival, it's best to have an empty stomach! There are rows and rows of food vendors with all kinds of delicious treats. You'll find gyros, Indian tacos, bratwurst, perogies and so much more! Walking through the food vendors and trying foods from different cultures is definitely one of my favorite things about the International Festival.
