Cold weather and the threat of rain didn’t keep more than 1,000 people from experiencing Thai food and culture at Olbrich Botanical Gardens Sunday afternoon for Thai Fest.
The event is hosted by the Gardens as well as the University of Wisconsin, the University of Wisconsin Alumni Assocation, the Royal Thai Consulate General in Chicago and the Tourism Authority of Thailand. Throughout the afternoon, various groups of Thai performers showcased traditional dance, music and even a practice wedding ceremony.
