The Chinese Festival is one of the smaller ethnic festivals in the county, and it's usually overshadowed by the Greek, Italian, and Jazz festivals that sandwich it, but it's still well the trip to Hockessin. Apparently the dragon dance that kicks off the festival is one of the highlights, though I've always managed to miss it. What I go for is the chance to get some Chinese food that you wouldn't ordinarily find in local Chinese restaurants. (And there's beer, if that's a deciding factor for anyone). Ah, but what if you get your fill of dinner but don't care for the dessert options? No problem - Woodside Farms Creamery is a block away. DONE. To me, that's reason enough for a trip out that way.
Hours are 5-9 Friday, 11-9 Saturday, and 12-6 Sunday. Parking is $5. The festival is held at the Chinese American Community Center at 1313 Little Baltimore Rd., Hockessin. For more info:
