What a special weekend it was in New Orleans East. Each year, to celebrate the new year, the vietnamese community comes together to throw a huge New Years Party! The festival draws over 10,000 people annually and features the best fair food i know of...
Whether it's a down the line subway style Bahn Mi stand or fresh spring rolls wrapped in front of your eyes, this fair has it all when it comes to vietnamese cuisine. Some crowd favorites include the candied grilled corn on the cob which tasted like a dessert & the suculent beef skewers. There were so many impressive fresh flavors to sample. Value wise, this festival is as good as it gets: $3 po-boys, $3 spring rolls, $3 beef skewers. No admission charge to get in which means you can have a cheaper lunch at the festival than going to a vietnamese restaurant. Feel free to bring a cooler of adult beverages as well. GREAT VALUE!
Another interesting aspect of this party is the live music and games. Kids are running around everywhere, poppers are going off, and spray foam shows up everywhere. All this while classic rock is performed on stage.
The festival runs friday, saturday, and sunday so be on the look out next year.
