This year, the Cleveland Asian Festival runs from May 17-18, marking its 16th anniversary. It was created to celebrate and experience the many Asian cultures, all in one location. This month is also Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month, making it a perfect time to celebrate Asian culture. 

The festival has a plethora of different activities, foods, and souvenirs. Over 30 different restaurants are offering traditional Asian cuisine, so you will not have to worry about leaving hungry.

Not only can you try many Asian, traditional foods but you can also vote for the best vendor. The Best Food Competition is an event in which everyone votes for who has the best food at the festival, and the winner will be crowned.

In addition to the delicious cuisine, there are well-over 100 different souvenir vendors, so you will definitely be able to find something of interest and possibly gifts for family and friends.

The most important aspect of this festival is to celebrate Asian culture. “The Colors of Asia” event on Sunday is a fashion showcase of traditional clothing, showing off the many beautiful, different clothing styles. The festival is eager to have more people model their clothing, and it is strongly recommended that you use your own clothing, but there is a limited amount of clothing available just in case you forget. If you are interested in modeling, please fill out the form listed on the website below.

The Cleveland Asian Festival is a great way to experience Asian cultures and a great opportunity to get out of the house. The festival is only 15 minutes away, so please do not miss out on the fun.

Maybe you will be picked to be the head of the dragon?
