8th annual Cleveland Asian Festival 

For Immediate Release

Cleveland, OH - The Cleveland Asian Festival is an all volunteered based
grassroots effort to highlight AsiaTown while celebrating diversity and
Asian culture in Northeast Ohio. It is a major reason for the resurgence of
and growth in Cleveland's AsiaTown community.

A record crowd of 48,800 attended the 7th annual Cleveland Asian Festival in
2016 and similar crowds are expected this year on May 20 and 21.  For many
it was their first visit to Cleveland's AsiaTown and visitor surveys showed
that a large majority planned on returning to shop and eat in the
neighborhood throughout the year.

The Cleveland Asian Festival features a variety of delicious food and drink
options from about 20 Asian restaurants, two stages of Asian entertainment
including martial arts demonstrations, a health pavilion with free medical
screening and information, community resources, Trolley Tours of the
neighborhood, a kid's area and more.  

Johnny Wu, co-founder of the Cleveland Asian Festival, said "The
all-volunteer executive board and committee members of the Cleveland Asian
Festival works hard all year to create an experience that not only AsiaTown
but all of Cleveland and beyond can enjoy and be proud of."

The Cleveland Asian Festival is a family-friendly event featuring free
admission and parking.  It has been named the Best Festival in Cleveland and
one voter's note summed up the responses: "Even though it's called the
'Cleveland Asian Festival' this spectacular two-day event is filled with so
much culture and diversity; not just that of Asian descent, but the culture
and diversity of Cleveland as well. As a growing city, festivals like these
bring a city together, and it's always a great time!"
