Join us for the 5th Asian Cultural Festival in the heart of Downtown Berkeley—a joyful celebration of the rich cultures, traditions, food, music, and artistry that make up the vibrant Asian community of the Bay Area and beyond.

Taking place on Saturday, September 12th from 10 AM–6 PM at Civic Center Park, this free public festival brings together communities from across Asia for a full day of cultural exchange, family-friendly activities, live performances, and shared celebration.

Experience:
• Authentic food from across Asia
• Traditional and contemporary dance performances
• Live music and cultural demonstrations
• Arts, crafts, and interactive activities
• Community organizations, vendors, and local artisans
• A welcoming gathering celebrating diversity, unity, and friendship

This year’s festival is proudly led by the Nepalese community as Chief Organizers, in partnership with many longtime cultural and community collaborators throughout the Bay Area. The festival continues to grow each year as a meaningful way to bring together students, families, artists, spiritual communities, and neighbors from all backgrounds.

Located in the center of Downtown Berkeley—with university students back in the city—we anticipate a lively and inspiring turnout filled with culture, connection, and celebration.

We warmly invite community organizations, performers, food vendors, artists, volunteers, and sponsors to participate in helping make this year’s festival our most vibrant yet.

Come celebrate the beauty of Asian diversity and culture with us!
