Posted by Tara Peterson on Sat, Aug 06, 2011

hungryThe Hungry Tiger Street Festival brings a completely new experience, inspired by the Night Markets of the far east, to Somerville's Union Square. It will tickle, tease, and otherwise engage all of your senses!

For one night, Hungry Tiger will transform Union Square into a bustling night market featuring food and entertainment from the numerous continents and countries represented by the businesses of Union Square. Street foods familiar to those in Brazil or Thailand will be served to passer-byes, with live cooking and food demonstrations. Local artists will be peddling wares and costuming visitors on sight with original one-of-a-kind wares unlike any you have ever seen before. Finally, there will be performers captivating the crowd and blending into this magical, one-night-only environment that you, the visitor, are helping create.

The rain date for this event will be Sunday, Aug. 7.
