Now that the OC Fair is history, it's international food fair season again. Labor Day weekend (that's less than two weeks), will bring the Orange International Street Fair (its 36th year) and October will bring the younger Irvine Global Village Festival (its 8th year).
Admission will be free; the music, eclectic; and the food selection, vast.
Check their websites for more details, which I've linked below for your convenience:
