2024 Fiesta Asia Street Fair

After a disappointing time at the Cherry Blossom's Sakura Matsuri in April, I was reluctant to attend another DC street festival. Despite being at the same location (Pennsylvania Avenue NW between Third & Sixth Streets), I figured that the 2024 Fiesta Asia Street Fair couldn't be worse. Besides, it was free, and the day was beautiful. I am so glad that I did. My experience was so much better. 

I was looking forward to the street food, and Fiesta Asia delivered. There were so many that it was hard to choose, but I found exactly what I was looking for at The Sister House. I haven't had takoyaki since Japan, and it turns out that I like squid kanaage. For dessert, I tried Filipino Deep-Fried Watermelon. Their sign was on the money: Sounds disgusting, but tastes delicious. I wanted to eat more.

I wandered through the different tents and watched a few performances. The atmosphere was positive as people of different backgrounds proudly represented their cultures.
