AUTHENTIC KHMER FOOD SAMPLING
Cambodian cuisine derives its flavor from spices and aromatic herbs, with little use of fat and meats. This cuisine is a combination of complex, vibrant flavors and a delicate balance between saltiness, sweetness, sourness and bitterness, with a keen appreciation for textures.
Cost:  $450.00
 

FOOD VENDING
In order to sell foods, you need to apply for a temporary permit from the city of Alexandria, good for one year. You pay fee to the Alexandria Dept of Park & Recreation. Additionally, you may have to pay up to $80, if you use propane gas, to the Alexandria Fire Dept. All food preparations are subjected to state regulations and health department inspection. Vendor who fails the inspection or vendor who does not pay for the permit will not be allowed to sell.

The fees are beyond CCD committee control and are required for every event that sells food in the city.

Based on our past experiences, all vendors make money on top of these paid fees. There are up to 6,000 people come in and out of the festival last year. Call Sovannah Tum at 843-458-9518 for more information.
