Join us for our 9th Annual Lunar New Year Festival & Fried Rice Cook-Off. Due to space issues/concerns, this is the THIRD YEAR the event is held at the WEST ALABAMA ICEHOUSE.
This will be unique experience as we have friends from within the community presenting their version of FRIED RICE with a very international flair. (There will be representation from many ethnic backgrounds.) 2026 is the Year of the horse so we are expecting previous winners and competitors to bring their best to try and claim the crown this time to get their name on the winners plaque! Competition will be based on judging as well as fan favorite!
This is a Family Friendly event with kid friendly atmosphere, including a Bounce House
This charity event will raise money for the FOTP emergency fund.
