Beyond food, there will be roving performers, including belly dancers, Butoh cheerleaders and musicians. Get ready for a salsa performance by Noche Latina Dance School and don’t miss the main event: a fire throwing spectacular by the Boston Circus Guild.
Just a few of the 2015 vendors include Cantina La Mexicana, Casa B (Latin American Tapas), India Palace, Gracie’s Ice Cream and the Arts Council’s Nibble Culinary Entrepreneurs, who will be serving up: Mexican Tostadas de Tinga de Pollo and Brazilian Acarajé. You’ll also be able to graze on Brazilian BBQ while sipping freshly squeezed sugar cane juice, or perhaps a vegetarian Indian dosa is more up your alley? We’ve got you covered.
There will also be plenty of food activities: At the Arts Council table play “Ignite Your Mouth” or the “Nose Olympics!” and check out the SAC’s Nibble book, which is filled with recipes, stories and art.
Nearby there will be food demos: Mexican Cactus Juice, Brazilian Acarajé and a how-to ferment extravaganza. There will also be activities for children (6-8pm), including a “Play with your Food!” art activity and a stilting workshop courtesy of Open Air Circus in Stone Park (behind the Independent parking lot).
