Cleveland, OH – The
Cleveland Asian Festival (CAF) is a grassroots festival that
highlights Cleveland’s AsiaTown, Diversity, and Asian Culture in
Northeast Ohio. It was organized in 2010 by volunteer community
leaders to celebrate Cleveland’s diversity and Asian Pacific
American Heritage month (May). The pandemic caused the cancellation
of the 2020 CAF but it will be back – virtually – in 2021.
The 2021 Cleveland Asian Festival will take place on Saturday May
22, 2021at 10:30am for about 90 minutes. The virtual Festival will
include performances, highlight businesses in AsiaTown and around
the City and provide health resources. Participants will go on a
quick virtual tour of the different shopping centers in AsiaTown.
Johnny Wu, one of the founders of CAF says, “CAF is always
considered the festival that kicks off summer. We were hoping for
this year to be an in-person event but with Covid's restrictions and
the lack of events permits directions from the City, we are doing it
virtually to celebrate our culture and diversity. We also hope to
entice viewers to check out AsiaTown and try all the wonderful
places we offer once they can."
The mission of CAF has remained the same over the years:
Strengthening the identity of AsiaTown and supporting its economic
growth
Educating and promoting Asian culture and traditions
Celebrating Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and Cleveland’s
Diversity
Uniting Cleveland’s Asian Community
The 2021 CAF comes at a time when there has been a rise in
anti-Asian hate and violence. The thousand or so who attended the
peaceful #StopAsianHate rally in Cleveland earlier this month will
be joined by thousands of others online for this virtual event. The
same group produced a popular, well-attended virtual celebration of
Lunar New Year earlier this year.
Lisa Wong, president of OCAGC and one of the founders of CAF, says
“We're excited about this year's Cleveland Asian Festival and the
opportunity to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month this
May. While this year's event will be virtual, we hope viewers will
learn more about the rich and diverse Asian cultures we have here in
Northeast Ohio. We invite everyone to patronize the local Asian
businesses and to continue supporting the APA community during these
challenging times.”
