MARQUETTE -- If you're a food lover you may want to celebrate the 4th of July holiday at Mattson Lower Harbor Park in Marquette.

For the last 27 years the International Food Fest has brought dozens of area restaurants to one place.  The festival features live music and international cuisine.
    
Each year the Marquette County Exchange Club raises 30 to 40,000 dollars that goes right back into the community.

"Back into the community in support of mainly youth activities but we also support the Alzheimer's Association, Bay Cliff Health Camp, the community is very supportive and a lot of people plan a vacation to come back home for this event they come here for family reunions.  Its just a fun event," said Jim Ingle of the Marquette County Exchange Club.

The festival runs through Thursday.
