Come taste the “richly satisfying food with deeply interesting flavors that fine dining chefs crave after work” (according to Anthony Bourdain) at the SAN DIEGO LAO FOOD FESTIVAL on June 22 & 23, 2024.

This 2 day event showcases the diverse and rich cuisine of Laos right here in Mira Mesa Community Park, 8575 New Salem, San Diego, CA 92126 from 11:00-9:00 PM on Saturday and 11:00-6:00 PM on Sunday.

Visitors can expect to find a variety of food stalls selling a range of traditional dishes, from savory to sweet desserts. Some unique and delicious dishes can’t even be ordered in local Lao restaurants.

In addition to the food, the festival features live music, cultural performances, cooking demonstrations, and fun cooking competitions. Foodies, get your taste buds ready for an adventure!

LAOSD is a non-profit organization that continues to put community first. San Diego is home to one of the largest population of Lao Americans. At the festival, we aim to showcase the diverse and rich cuisine of Laos. The Festival will feature authentic food, cooking competitions, talented artists and musicians, local vendors and a rich cultural experience. This is an excellent opportunity for your business or organization to establish a presence in the Laotian American community, introduce new products or services, and further your organization’s commitment to supporting the local diverse community.  We expect to have 10,000 + attendees based on year 1, and media exposure through social media, local newspaper, and news broadcast.
