In addition to the vast selection of food, the North Carolina International Food Fiesta boasts an exciting lineup of contests and activities that will entertain and challenge participants. The Hot Dog Contest and Hot Wing Contest are particularly anticipated, inviting the brave and the hungry to showcase their eating prowess for a chance to walk away with a grand prize of $500. Meanwhile, the Horseshoe Contest offers a different kind of challenge, testing the skills of participants in a classic game of precision and technique. Each contest comes with an entry fee of $100, with all proceeds going towards the REACH initiative, making each bite and throw count for much more than just personal glory.

But the fun doesn't stop there; the Bikini Car Wash Fundraiser adds an extra layer of excitement to the fiesta. Starting at 11:00 AM, attendees have the opportunity to get their cars washed by a cheerful crew, ready to make those vehicles shine while clad in bikinis. With tickets priced at $25 for cars and $35 for SUVs and minivans, not only will you drive away in a sparkling clean car, but you'll also be contributing to a great cause, as every dollar raised from the event will go directly to REACH. Remember, tickets are available online and must be purchased beforehand—no tickets will be sold at the gate.

The North Carolina International Food Fiesta is not just an event; it's a celebration of food, fun, community spirit, and a shared commitment to making a difference. It represents an opportunity for locals and visitors alike to come together, share in the joy of diverse cuisines, partake in entertaining competitions, and support a valuable charitable endeavor. So, mark your calendars, spread the word, and join in on what promises to be a day to remember. Whether you're there to indulge in the delicious offerings, compete for glory and prizes, or simply enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, there's something at the fiesta for everyone.
