TASTE THE WORLD IN FENTON VILLAGE THIS SUNDAY IN SILVER SPRING (PHOTO)

This Sunday, you can taste the world without walking farther than the boundaries of Fenton Village, a 5-block neighborhood just south of downtown Silver Spring. 31 restaurants are participating this year, with 2 stages of live entertainment, raffles and prizes, and more.

Start Sunday at 1:00 PM, by picking up your Passport at Public Parking Lot 3 off of Fenton Street, between Thayer and Silver Spring Avenues. Buy tickets between $2-$5 apiece to sample cuisine at each restaurant along your self-guided map tour. Get at least 3 stamps at different restaurants on your passport, and you'll be eligible to win prizes in the raffle at 5:30 PM. The dining part of the day will wrap up at 5:00 PM.

Beyond the food, all of the other entertainment - and admission - are free.

There are several parking garages nearby, or you can walk from the Silver Spring Metro Station (Red Line).

This year's event has many sponsors, including Montgomery County, the Silver Spring Urban District,  Yelp, All the Hits 107.3, Pepco, The Blairs and Donohoe Construction.
