6th Annual Bolivian Parade in Jersey City
Saturday, August 1, starts at 11 a.m.
A parade would not be a parade without food to energize all that marching and dancing. Munch on empanadas and guzzle down Inca Kola at this street celebration. Check out Eating in Translation's photos of last year's event.

Serious Eaters should note that Saturday's Bolivian celebration in Jersey City is actually two events. First is a parade, beginning at 11:00 and winding down near City Hall, where I came across some interesting street food last year; admission is free. Second is a festival at the Mount Carmel Church, perhaps two miles away; it begins at 4:30, and there's an admission charge of $10 or $15 depending on when you arrive. I didn't attend last year, but the event website gives a sense of what you'll find.
There's another Bolivian festival on Sunday, outdoors in Hackensack, free admission, which I'd check out myself if I weren't going to be in Connecticut. Details on Eating In Translation.
