The Los Angeles Taste of the World Festival is a unique series of events to be held annually in Los Angeles County which celebrate the food, music, art, culture and dancing from the countries and cultures found throughout the United States. With the world's five continents in mind, the festival includes representation from consulates, restaurants, travel agencies, airlines, and musical performers.  It also features strolling entertainers, clowns, face painting, dancing, and cooking and art exhibitions. Furthermore, we are featuring a three day talent search for the "Next Superstar," the "Next Celebrity Chef," "The Next Stand up Comic", 'The Next Event Planner" and an exciting, dramatic exhibition and competition for the next "Dancing with the LA Stars" winner.

The diversity of culture, food, music and entertainment represented in our festival ensures something for everyone's interests.   Not only is the festival an educational setting but also a social opportunity.  Engaging with individuals of various backgrounds will allow for the exchange of ideas, sharing of knowledge, and furthering of cultural awareness.
