10 Years of Cleveland Asian Festival

For Immediate Release

February 8, 2019

Cleveland, OH – When the volunteer founders of the Cleveland Asian 
Festival created the event ten years ago their main goals were to 
showcase Asian culture and promote the AsiaTown neighborhood of 
Cleveland.  Now ten years later the Cleveland Asian Festival has become 
an annual engine of economic growth for the area.

While it was expected that the Cleveland Asian Festival (CAF) would 
celebrate diversity and Asian culture in Northeast Ohio it would have 
been hard to predict its impact on the resurgence of and growth in 
Cleveland’s AsiaTown community.

Johnny Wu, one of three CAF founders, says “It has been an honor to 
serve and help this festival grow.  The festival’s reach goes beyond the 
weekend as many attendees continue to visit AsiaTown throughout the 
year.”

Before the Cleveland Asian Festival, what has now become the popular and 
vibrant AsiaTown was unknown to most outside the area.  But with tens of 
thousands being introduced to AsiaTown through the Cleveland Asian 
Festival each year the neighborhood has been a popular destination 
year-round.

The Cleveland Asian Festival has been an economic engine for AsiaTown 
with 35,000 to 50,000 attendees each year and millions spent in the 
neighborhood.

Look for a special Cleveland Asian Festival this year as the 10-year 
anniversary is celebrated.  Johnny Wu adds, “CAF is now a decade in the 
making. We are very proud and excited.”
