Saint Sophia Greek Festival - The one of many jewelry stands

Saint Sophia Greek Festival

The Saint Sophia Greek Festival is a pleasant little community experience. This event takes place…read moreacross 3 days and I recently attended during the day with the kids. It's pretty tiny but somehow we ended up spending about 4 hours here, mostly because of my kids. There is a small indoor portion in the church, where there are various vendors mostly selling women's jewelry. That is about 80% of the vendors at least when I visited in 2025. There was a stand selling great olive oil and olives (both of which I purchase) and a stand selling the delicious Greek desserts I basically ate every day while I lived in Astoria, Queens (one of the largest Greek communities in the US). The ladies at the bakery were so friendly, even offering my son a cookie for free (and of course he takes the entire box!). Outside, there is another bakery (with about 4 times the size of the line), and other food stalls. We got a lamb gyro with tzatziki and it was out of this world. There is a tent with music, where some people were dancing and an occasional singer or band would rotate in and out. Also in the tent was a drink vendor where my partner and I enjoyed a glass of white wine on a very hot day. The kids were drawn to the bouncy houses, which included some traditional ones and a blow up slide. It cost $10 per child for use all day. They certainly got their money's worth! There was a sign for face painting and pony rides but I did not see either and the ladies working the desk didn't know when or if they'd actually show up. Overall, a very relaxing spot. Don't expect a huge festival but a relaxed afternoon out or evening. There is also a lovely flower vendor that is a nice place to wander or buy flowers for the spring.

The 2017 version of this annual event was my first time…read more It was fun and well run, plus it's a fundraiser for the homeless--gotta love that. I arrived at 11 AM when it opened; departed by 1:45 PM--was getting crowded and challenging to move about. Everyone at the various booths had great energy. A DJ played a superb mix of oldies and latest releases. I adored the fact that M Street was closed to vehicle traffic for the event. A wonderful spirit was found throughout--really enjoyed myself. My one disappointment: the samples were pretty small. I counted 27 restaurants/bars that participated. Of this, I could afford to "taste" the offerings of 10 establishments. Here's my winners: 1st, Chaia for potato and kale taco; 2nd, 1789 Restaurant for grilled ribeye, soba noodles & sweet potato; 3rd, Beard Papa's for chocolate fondant (dark chocolate lava cake). Would I attend again? You betcha!

What a great event! This is the first year I check out Taste of Georgetown, and I'm so glad I did…read more You can prepay for tickets and pick them up on the day of the event at Will Call, or you can buy tickets at the event. Once you're at the event, the food/drink booths only accept tickets - no cash or credit cards. Some of my highlights included Paella (Bodega), Shawarma (George's), Crabcake Slider (Martin's Tavern), California Roll (I-Thai), and of course Cupcake duos (Georgetown Cupcakes). There was also a beer garden organized by Pizza Paradiso that had a variety of craft beers, which was awesome. It was a great location by the Georgetown Waterfront. The event seemed pretty well staffed, which was great because good organization is essential for events like this.

This market always seems to hype itself up but whenever you get there, it's just way too crowded…read moreand not that special. The weather was gorgeous today so that was a plus. They should close off some streets or close the parking lane like they do on M St sometimes and have more tables, vendors, and food. I guess it's ok if you happen to be there but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.

I attended this event with very low expectation just in case it was a let down. The market was a…read morelot smaller then I thought it would be. It stretched about a block or so and seemed a little unorganized.Things were a little scattered and it was hard to distinguish vendors. The sidewalks are small so it was hard to look at certain tables. Many were overcrowded to the point where you were looking over people just to see what was being sold. Food tents were limited in my opinion. I know the market is suppose to cover all aspects other then food.. but I saw very little French influence throughout the whole market. The thing that bothered me was that in order to look at food under the tent you had to fight the crowd under the tent. The crêpe line was outrageous and unorganized. There was no sign that said you need to pay and get a ticket before you ordered your crêpe. One lady who was a random patron cut the whole line because she claimed that she had a ticket that she just paid for. A friend and I wasted about 10 mins waiting and that lady cut in front of us. The offerings that were suppose to be samplings of French food were a bit lacking. Clyde's offered a Crostini that was about $2.00 for a sample. While 1987 offered roasted beets with goat cheese for $4.00. Paul's sold their baked goods which was not really anything new. It seemed like not that many vendors wanted to participate. Most of the tables were just random and didn't seem to do anything to do with France. Although many of the home goods that I saw were very interesting and different. So that was refreshing to see. I think the only thing that saved my experience at the market was getting a macaron ice cream sandwich from macaron bee which was 20% off. Another decent deal was Bacchus wine cellar that offered a $6.00 wine tasting of red, white and rose. Overall a good concept that was horribly executed. I would think if its the 10th Annual you would have more to showcase. Perhaps more French culture so that others can learn more about and appreciate it's beauty. A big props to those at art soirée who did amazing on site painting.

Fiesta Asia Street Fair - Chicken Teriyaki on a stick

Fiesta Asia Street Fair

My family and I enjoyed this festival this year (2025). We also attended it the previous year in…read more2024, and it was a pretty dismal showing. The weather in 2024 was brutally hot and only a handful of vendors showed up. The festival in 2025 was better though the location along Pennsylvania Ave is so large that this street festival can feel a little empty/tame compared to some others we visited. There is a wide range of vendors from food to shops and community centers. We ordered some dumplings, which were eatable. And an "asian hamburger" from a stand that was seasoned pork on a bao bun. This was actually completely uneatable. Not only did the parents think it was pretty awful, our kids spit it out. The food here is really hit or miss. But the positive of this place is the variety of activities and entertainment. There were craft stations, dragon demos and other events that our kids just loved. My son in particular loved the cosplay competition, which involved people wearing costumes they made at home. I wasn't really into it, but he just loved the spectacle. Overall, this festival is a good one to check out and spend an afternoon. Is it amazing? Not really. But overall a nice festival to mix up the weekend plans.

This was my first time at Fiesta Asia. I was really excited to see & explore the various…read moreperformances, food vendors, and crafts showcasing Asian culture. This year's festival started at 11a and ended at 7p on Pennsylvania Ave. between 3rd and 6th Street and overlooking the National Gallery of Art. I got there around mid afternoon. There were a number of food vendors, so much it was difficult to choose which ones to try first. It was a very hot day, a little too hot for walking around. The lines for most vendors were long. I stood online for about 1/2 hour for sugarcane juice ($8), which I really really wanted. It was a worth the wait, the sugarcane was freshly pressed (not too sweet), cold and refreshing. The lines for food were also very long, there were many things I wanted to try (the thangulu, Ube doughnut, bao buns), but just didn't have the energy to wait on line for a long time in the heat. Each line was over 15 mins. wait. I can only say that is probably a testament to how good the food was. For the food I did get to try, the fried pork belly which was just okay, could have been more crispy and needed more seasoning. The teriyaki chicken wasn't great. It didn't taste like anything special and the chicken was too chewy. I did enjoy the Tiger show dance, and I would have like to try other things, like the henna. Next time I would prepare better and come earlier to hopefully avoid the crowds. Overall, this was a nice experience of Asian heritage and culture through dance, demonstrations, arts & food.
