Marianas Festival of food
Saturday, May 26, 2007
The smell of scrumptious and delectable food is in the air at The 9th Annual Taste of the Marianas International Food Festival and Beer Garden. One of Saipan’s most popular of events will take place on May 5, 12, 19 & 26, 2007 at the American Memorial Park. This event is complete with live entertainment, food, beverages and numerous competitions in the tropical Saipan weather making this outdoor evening event a favorite of visitors in the region who swarm for a "Taste of the Marianas".
There is no fee to join in on the fun and festivities, but you will need to purchase tokens for food and beverages. Saipan’s very best restaurants and hotels participate in this event making it a delectable culinary and cultural experience extravaganza not to be missed.
Locals show the Hafa Adai spirit to visitors of our tropical island of Saipan, sharing in the culture and enjoying all that the festival has to offer. So come and enjoy!!
Our family has been every Saturday night this month. It's great for the kids, and it always strikes me that we (and all the other parents) just let them run around and have a good time -- something you wouldn't do in a larger place.

The first year of Taste O f Marianas was in the year of 1999. Almost all the hotels participated in that including Taste Of India Restaurant. It was lot of fun on every Saturday of May where you can get all kinds of food music and dance. It is truly an international food festival . It is also good to see all 5 star hotels participate in this big event every year.
It is also good to see Taste Of India participate in this big event every year and attract many people to try Indian food and also many Americans , Japanese and locals want this unique restaurant to survive in this part of the island and one day hopefully the business will return and all will enjoy once again and will feel the happiest moments of being in here the beautiful island
