Do It. LB Street Food Fest.

If you weren't able to catch the LA Food Fest at the Rose Bowl (or didn't want to cough up the hefty $45 entrance fee) you can still sample all that the local gourmet food vendors have to off this weekend at the Long Beach Street Food Festival for $8 at the door, $6 presale.

Among the over 20 vendors serving up their gourmet cuisine are the grilled cheese truck, Buttermilk, Uncle Lau's, Cool Haus, World Fair, and Gourmet Genie.

But you'll have to leave all animal companions at home: no pets allowed at this event.

The Long Beach Street Food Festival is scheduled to be at the Rainbow Lagoon Park in Long Beach from 10:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
