Get those taste buds ready for the Around the World Cultural Food Festival! Hosted at Oronoco Bay Park on August 29, 2026, this year marks a special milestone — it’s the festival’s 10th anniversary!

At this delicious event in Old Town Alexandria, enjoy food vendors alongside crafters, artisans, and cultural performances throughout the waterfront park. With only one food vendor per country, each is carefully selected to present the best of the best — showcasing their culture through cuisine for a one-of-a-kind experience.

Taste your way around the world, experience a diverse folk show with singers and dancers from different countries, and shop for handmade creations from skilled artisans between meals. Little ones will love the Kids’ Corner, too!

Admission is free, with traditional dishes and beverages available for purchase.
