L.A. Street Food Fest Coming Back on July 24th
After the first L.A. Street Food Fest in February, many hoped the event would come back in the summer, rather than waiting a full year. That wish has come true.
Last night organizers tweet-teased this little tid bit: "Our lips are sealed 'til next week, but take a guess on where our next July 24th event will be." A link led to a photo of organizers Shawna Dawson and Sonja Rasula at the what looks like the Rose Bowl.
On the event's Facebook fan page, they say problems surrounding attendance and lines, which left many exasperated. have been tackled. "We've spent the last few months listening to everyone's advice (the good, the bad and the ugly)," a note said. We've worked really hard and are ready to blow your minds."
