diverse blend and variety of restaurants and

was created in celebration of the international
food styles that make the Saratoga area such a
unique culinary experience.”
Beginning at 11 a.m., people can pick up
a Flavorfeast “passport map” of participating
restaurants/businesses in front of Fingerpaint

“By offering $1 samples and free admission,
the International Flavorfeast will allow attendees
the opportunity to enrich their palates and
taste foods they haven’t tried in the past,” said

showcase their talents, providing a food sample
that’s specific to the ethnicity they have chosen
to represent.”
