Celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month by joining thousands of
people from across the state of Ohio at the 4th Annual Cleveland Asian
Festival (CAF) on Saturday, May 18th and Sunday, May 19th, 2013. 

 

In 2010, the inaugural year, Cleveland Scene Magazine praised CAF as the
"Best New Ethnic Festival". In 2011 and 2012 the festival drew over 30,000
and 40,000 attendees, respectively, and is bound to attract even more
attention this spring.

 

There is something for everyone - from food, to shopping, to non-stop
entertainment- and best of all, the Festival is Free. This week's focus is
on the Children's Area, which has been a much loved part of the Festival
since its inception. 

 

While the Festival's offerings have evolved since 2010, the Children's Area
has drawn a crowd from the beginning. The Children's Area is held outdoors
with most activities occurring in a large tent in front of Asia Plaza. All
activities in the Children's Area are free and are open to children of all
ages and their families. 

 

CAF organizers are proud to announce a partnership with local companies,
organizations and museums including the Children's Museum of Cleveland, the
Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History to
bring to the public of weekend of fun, educational, hands-on workshops
relating to the Asian Culture. While children of all ages will find a craft
to enjoy or a game to test their skills, Kindermusik's five demonstrations
daily will be specially designed for children 1-5 years old.

 

The area will be staffed all weekend with CAF volunteers but please do not
leave your children unattended. Additionally, the children's area will
service as a meeting point for lost children.

times and program specifics.
