In celebration of Asian/Pacific American Heritage month, the Cleveland Asian Festival highlights the city’s AsiaTown, recognizes the prevalent and important Asian culture, and celebrates Cleveland’s overall diversity. This free event runs Sat 5/18 and Sun 5/19 @ 1-7pm. With more than 100 vendors and exhibitors, over 25 local restaurants presenting authentic Asian cuisine, two outdoor stages, free tours via Lolly the Trolley, games, activities and more, there won’t be a dull moment.

Live entertainment ranges from music and dance to an eggroll eating contest, yoga, and a fashion show. Full performance schedule can be viewed here. Even more, free health screenings will be provided in the Health Pavilion inside Asia Plaza.

This event seeks to strengthen the identity of AsiaTown and promote its culture and tradition. Already a free event, the festival is made even more accessible through free parking and free shuttles from Cleveland State lots around East 24th. View more parking and shuttle information here.

Come to eat, explore vendors and artists, dance and play, and so much more!
