Near the corner of Kirk and French, the Filipino food booth is always one of the most popular, with infamously long lines every weekend.

Last year he was one of three young volunteers awarded scholarships from the Lowell Festival Foundation for their service at the various\u00a0food booths.

Edith Parekh first ran a food booth for the 1986 Regatta Festival to benefit the Celebration of Life non-profit organization, now called Seed. Along with her husband Nalin, and later her four children, Anissa, Natasha, Noah, and Naomi, she has participated in every Lowell Festival. Former Lowell State Senator Dan Leahy, whom Edith calls the \u201cspirit of the organization,\u201d \u00a0founded Celebration of Life to help benefit the Mustard Seed orphanages in Jamaica after he saw the plight of poor children in Kingston. There he met Father Gregory Ramkissoon, a priest from India, who founded the orphanages 1978. Naomi spent one year in Jamaica as a Fulbright scholar working with Father Gregory helping orphans stigmatized by HIV. This year\u2019s profits from the Seed booth will go to help both Lowell charities as well as Jamaican orphanages. Any leftovers will be donated to a homeless shelter.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2718\" title=\"Edith and Nalin Parekh chopping red peppers for curry sauce.\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.massfolkarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0300-Seed-edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"369\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Edith\u2019s mother immigrated from Jamaica to Canada as a young girl.

The Jamaican beef patties, wrapped in pastry, sell out every year.
