Comida Fest, a street food market celebrating Latin American food and drink, returns to the South Bank on 21-22 May after a successful debut in April.
A selection of street food traders covers Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Brazil, Cuba, Venezuela and Colombia, and will include sandwiches, street snacks, cocktails (including a pisco bar), burgers, Latin BBQ, coffee and even a stall dedicated entirely to passion fruit.
There will also be plenty of live music and entertainment including a rumba workshop, live DJs, zumba, pisco and mescal masterclasses and face painting (could get messy).
If you really get a taste for Latin American while you're there, don’t forget to enter the competition to win a trip for two people to Rio de Janeiro. Hola!
