I've been wanting to go but couldn't until this year, then those tornadoes. Luckily they were not damaged and thankfully it is not cancelled.
What strategy do you recommend food wise? Any other tips or recs? How long should I plan to stay?

there will be some other round eyes there but not terribly many
the viets will welcome you with open arms though. some of the friendliest people you will ever meet
Talk to th food vendors and ask them to make recommendations
you'll eat good and have a good time

If you go early in the day, it is very laidback & friendly. Lots of little kids running around smashing confetti eggs and spraying silly string, just like every other church or school fair anywhere in south LA. I usually start with the pho, chase it with some kinda grilled meat on a stick, and hang out for a little while watching the ladies turn out spring rolls lightning fast & so neatly. Fried bananas for dessert.
Some years, there are chargrilled oysters topped w/nuoc cham, or some outliers like tacos or menudo or posole contributed by the post-K hispanic immigrants to the neighborhood.

Strategy? It's a festival. Isn't it kind of self explanatory? Go, eat, leave.

Call your local law enforcement agency. A lot of back child support can be collected at one of these.

Some of the best food around.

I don't want to jinx the festival, but we have yet to have any incidents of any criminal activities occurred ever since the new younger group of church volunteer that taken since Katrina. The fest is very interesting, entertaining, secure and must visit!!!
You should hit the fair during the day time for the local american cover bands. Groovy 7 is easily one of the best and most popular of the local cover bands. They have been playing at the fair every year since Katrina.
The pho has been amazing for the last two years (a new head cook took over), the other 8 years its been really awful. The best time to get pho is around 11am - 4pm, this is when the pho broth is at its best (very fatty). The bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup) is definitely worth a try.
If you are adventurous enough head over to the tent that is to the right of the stage. Give their goats dishes a try, they prepare the goat in two different ways, but definitely a must try.
There's a seafood tent in the back of the fair. I have a chance to simple their boiled crawfish yesterday and to my very own damn surprised it was pretty yummy. It's pretty much selected size and they will be selling them for $5/lb, that's a bargain. But avoid their charbroiled oysters, its awful.
Now for the sweets/desserts. The same tent that sells the pho/bbh which is the tent to the left of the stage. They sell the only good fried bananas. Another must try are the Pandan waffles. Drinks wise there's a tent that sells Thai Tea, Vietnamese iced coffee and cane juice.
