Wichita Asian Festival
Come hungry. There’s a lot of culture on the menu.
The Wichita Asian Festival brings Asian cultures from across the Wichita community together for an evening of food, performances, art and traditions at Century II Convention & Exhibition Hall in downtown Wichita.
Hosted annually by the Wichita Asian Association, the festival draws more than 10,000 attendees and features cultural performances, a pageant showcasing contestants from different ethnic backgrounds and dozens of food and craft vendors. It’s a chance to sample flavors from across Asia, experience traditional and contemporary performances and learn more about the cultures represented throughout Wichita.
Behind all the food and festivities is a bigger purpose. The Wichita Asian Festival promotes cultural awareness, celebrates the diversity of Wichita’s Asian communities and helps keep cultural arts and traditions thriving for future generations.
