I would like to introduce the Asian Festival 2023 at the Sycamore/Main Street Light Rail Station Parking Lots on Friday to Saturday, February 3 & 4, 2023 from 4 am to 10 pm and Sunday, Feb 5 from 12 noon to 5 pm. The City of Mesa and Valley Metro are partnering with Asian Festival to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Mayor from the City of Mesa, Councilmembers, State Senates, Valley Metro Board Members, community & business Leaders, students and families are excited to attend. We are expecting more than 50,000 attendees for this special event.
The Asian Festival mission is to promote a peaceful world by increasing international awareness and cultural understanding. It is a time to build community through businesses and family oriented activity. The Asian Festival had a successful inaugural event, that we hope to expand with various other events supporting the Asian District throughout the year. Our focus is organizing diverse cultural festivals, workshops and events for the public to learn and experience another culture, meet international friends, improve their language ability, taste of Asian cuisine, arts & crafts, tea ceremony, cultural dance and promote the value of cultures and traditions.
I have extensive project management, production, and event coordination experience. I travelled extensively through out Asia for many years and have worked event planning and coordination for Asian Royal families and dignitaries here in America.
Sincerely,
Dr Steve Kaplan, NMD
President of Asian Festival
