Experience the sights, sounds and tastes of Asia without leaving Indy.

Festival highlights include:
• Cultural Discovery and Displays of Featured Country – KOREA
• Entertaining cultural performances from Korea, China, India, Japan, and more
• Asian cuisine from local restaurants
• Children’s activities
• Asian communities booths
• Asian American Alliance’s Youth Leadership Awards presentation
