3rd Annual LA Street Food Fest Food Festival Jul 21, 2012 3:00 pm

The Los Angeles Street Food Fest in Pasadena, CA has quickly become the city’s most popular food festival. Held in the Rose Bowl every summer, it is an affordable alternative to the posh exclusivity of the Los Angeles Food and Wine festival.

Started in 2009, the LA Street Food Fest brings in tens of thousands of ravenous Angelenos to enjoy the more than 75 food vendors. The event is known for its variety of choices – everything from habanero chicken chili fries from one of the street vendors or food trucks, to plates of banana bread pudding and pecan pie from some of the city's top restaurants and chefs.

The tickets to the LA Street Food Fest are all inclusive, so once inside, it’s actually economically wise to eat as much as physically possible. Those over 21 can wash the flavors down in one of the venue’s lively beer gardens.
