The Promise of Peace community garden is hosting its 5th annual Okrapalooza event this Sunday on Sept. 14.
The Okrapalooza is an East Dallas-based cookoff that features live music, beer and lots of specialty okra dishes created by Dallas chefs.
“Celebrity chefs and Home-Cooks come together in the Dallas/Fort Worth area to present their best okra dishes to compete for the title of Okrapalooza champion of the world,” the website jokingly describes.
This year’s event will be hosted at The LOT at Gaston-Garland-Grand on Sunday, Sept. 14 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. A $35 ticket include okra dish tastings and sides, local beer, and live music.
All proceeds benefit the Promise of Peace Community Garden. Visit the Okrapalooza website to learn more.
