Do you like Pho? Then you will love this news. The free Pho Festival is coming to Fountain Valley’s Sports Park this Friday through Sunday, Dec. 7-9, at 16400 Brookhurst St.
In case you somehow don’t know, Pho is a rice-noodle soup that is one of Vietnam’s most popular home-style dishes. It is perfect for this cold weather we are having!

The Pho will be judged in two categories: beef and chicken. The contest will be held at 6 p.m. Saturday and an awards ceremony will be held at 4 p.m. Sunday.
The festival will also include
- a food court offering Vietnamese, American and Mexican cuisines
- spring roll cooking demonstrations
- a beer, wine and spirits garden
- live music
- and the crowning of Mr. and Mrs. Pho Festival 2018.
Cooking demonstrations, live music and carnival rides also are planned.
