Fun on the Web April 12 '10 Ethnic Food Festivals

Obviously I have just brushed the surface but if you have a favorite please put it in a comment.

First and foremost, in my mind, for Ethnic Food is Summerfest. Located in Milwaukee WI and billed as the Worlds Largest Music Festival with 11 stages over 11 days and over 500 bands (this year they say 800) this may not be an exaggeration but it also has an Ethnic Food Court plus other areas featuring not just multiple Italian and Mexican places but several German, a few Barbecue Joints, Creole, Thai, and Greek Food.

Plenty of fruit and salads are available for those who want to be good too. This is truly a special Festival since Martinis are there if you know where to look. (I drink neither beer nor wine so this was a great addition for me.) Great food, great music and a cocktail: does it get any better?

That venue has a different ethnic festival booked virtually every summer weekend that isn't during Summerfest at the same location along the lake starting with Polish Fest June 18-20 and running to Indian Summer Festival September 10-12.
