2025 will be the 16th year that the Cleveland Asian Festival (CAF) will bring tens of thousands of people to Cleveland’s AsiaTown to celebrate Asian heritage and Cleveland’s diversity. The grassroots festival was organized in 2010 by volunteer community leaders to celebrate Cleveland’s diversity and Asian Pacific American Heritage month (May).  CAF has always been considered as the festival that kicks off summer.

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

Now in its 16th year, CAF is the signature event that defines AsiaTown and brings thousands to the neighborhood. CAF has led to the creation of new businesses in the area as well as neighborhood beautification with arts and cultural displays and decorations throughout the district.
