In NYC we have these semi-big, big street festivals which always include some kind of food.

Then, there's the dedicated Sat & Sun Ninth Ave Food Festival (that has other stuff, too) a weekend after Mother's Day fom 57th St down to ?39 th St.
There, most Ninth Ave restaurants, and bakeries participate in it, plus other food vendors, and maybe other restaurants that come along. It stopped for 2, or 3 yrs re: covid. I hope I finally get back there next year.
It's great fun!

So)... food-
Vendors w grilled Italian Sweet Sausage with onions & red & green peppers!
Grilled Greek lamb shesh kabobs w onions, red/green peppers probably marinated w olive oil, garlic, and oregano!

Desert - Zeppollis!
Fried dough, w, w/o powdered sugar.
