It lasts for about 10 days and draws tens of thousands of people.
There are representatives from gourmet restaurants all over Peru, along with specialty food stands, and a big market place filled with foods from the different regions of the country.
The crowd is thick, but also a lot of fun. You see all kinds of people, old and young, fashion slaves and people in traditional costumes. It's a great celebration of food, of Peru, and of what brings many Peruvians (and we non-Peruvians) together.
Today, the sun came out and we headed into the thick of it to join in the celebration.
