“We created the Fairfield International Food Fest to bring people together through food, music, and shared experiences,” said Debbi O'Keefe, founder of ConnectFairfield. “In just its second year, it’s become a true reflection of the diversity and energy of our community — a place where you can try something new, spend time with family and friends, and experience cultures from around the world, all in one day.”
Designed for families and adults alike, the event will feature interactive activities, including a kids’ passport experience, photo booth, face painting, henna art, a Heritage Chalk Mural, and “Around the World” photo stations.
