(Cleveland, OH 4/8/11) If you are wondering, "Do I need to be Asian to
attend an Asian Festival?"  The answer is: "No."  The Cleveland Asian
Festival may feature Asian culture as the main attraction, but there will be
something there for everyone.  If you like food, there will be 20 local
restaurants and caterers serving authentic Asian cuisine.  If you like to
shop, there will be plenty to do in the  World Market.  Performers will be
there to entertain and games will be available for you to challenge
yourself.  Another prime feature would be the FREE health screenings that
will be available throughout the day at the Health Pavilion.
