AURORA | The Ethiopian community is one of the largest immigrant groups in Colorado and their presence as a political force is well known across the Front Range. But this story isn’t about politics.

Entering its fifth year, the Taste of Ethiopia has become a major cultural event drawing in thousands of people to explore the food and culture that’s been imported by immigrants from the Horn of Africa.
The event will feature dozens of Ethiopian vendors including numerous food tents. Along with the main draw of the food, the event will feature music, dancing and a fashion show featuring some of the beautiful clothes of the culture.
