4th Annual Experience Asia 2008 Festival to be Held
The Asian Coalition of Tallahassee (ACT) is holding the fourth Annual Experience Asia 2008 Festival on Saturday, September 27, 2008 at the Bloxham-Lewis Parks in Downtown Tallahassee between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM. During the last three years the Experience Asia Festival has grown from an event attended by a few hundred people to last year's crowd of over 10,000. It has also become the third most attended out-door event in Tallahassee. During last year’s festival, professional artists from Tampa and abroad came and performed several pieces.
This year the festival will feature local performers representing Asian countries like China, India, the Philippines, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Pakistan, and the United States. There will be exhibitors from both for-profit and non-profit organizations like Jenny's Accessories and Kineasthetics and food vendors representing Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Korean cuisines and booths representing organizations like Indian Association of Tallahassee, Big Bend Filipino-American Association, FSU-International Center, Tallahassee Families with Asian Children, and Chinese Association of Tallahassee, and others. The festival will also feature a demonstration stage where experts from various martial arts, folk arts, Tai-Chi and Falun Gong will show and explain their art forms.
