On March 4th, 2023, Noodle Fest occurred at Calder Plaza and drew an estimated 7,000 attendees. Eleven vendors participated in the competition to be crowned the best noodle dish of 2023, with each dish priced at $6.

In addition to the food, the event offered a range of entertainment, including karaoke, live music from a band, and DJs. Noodle Fest was an entertaining event with something for the whole family.

Also, we added a spicy noodle challenge this year, and Joreine crushed his competition.
