Plano ASIAFEST 2018

This year marks the Fifteenth Anniversary of Plano AsiaFest. Over the course of

the past 15 years, Plano AsiaFest has become one of the largest Asian American

Heritage Festivals in the region.

The success of this festival would not have been possible without the many

talented members of the community creating the stage performances, the

legions of volunteers from area businesses, PISD and other area school districts,

the cultural and business booth vendors, and the food vendors.

In particular, we are grateful for the continued support of the Mayor of Plano

and the members of the Plano City Council, the Plano Cultural Affairs

Commission, and our sponsors who make this event possible.

Visitors are always pleasantly surprised by the goods, services and information

that various vendors have to offer. So please take some time and visit them

while you are in Haggard Park today.

Last but not least, we want to thank the visitors to ASIAFEST. We hope you

enjoy the Festival and we invite you to join us by becoming sponsors, volunteers

and booth participants in the future. Please feel free to email us at

committee@AsianAmericanHeritage.org for more information.
