The NVA Thai Center is hosting a weekly Sunday thai street food festival all summer (and autumn) long! 3 locations - Manassas, Ashburn, and Annandale, Virginia.
We went to the Annandale one, which had plenty of parking (there is a large shopping center across the street too). 60 booths? Unsure about that but plenty of choices. There were also merchandise booths, with some handmade goods such as gold-plated jewelry!
Best dishes: Green papaya salad (Lao and Thai style!), mussel & shrimp pancake, BBQ meat skewers, Pad Thai, Butterfly Pea Tea, Logan Juice, Mango Sticky Rice.
Prices per-dish around $8-15.
Make sure to bring a picnic blanket, and water!...More

I checked out the NVA Thai Food and Culture Market this past weekend—and I have to say, it’s an absolute must-visit in the DMV area. The event I attended was a special market held at One Loudoun, but the market is typically hosted twice a month from March through December: once in Manassas and once in Annandale.
The food was phenomenal—absolutely delicious and very affordable, with most items priced under $15. In addition to the amazing food, there were plenty of non-food vendors, including local artisans, plant sellers, and stalls offering traditional Thai trinkets. The market also featured live performances and cultural activities, offering a great opportunity to learn more about Thai heritage.
I highly recommend making the trip to one of these markets this summer!...More
