Pick Of The Week
Tulsa Asia Fest
Saturday, January 31 at 3pm
Arvest Convention Center, 100 Civic Center
Did you know the City of Tulsa has a whole Asian Affairs Commission, whose 15 members have roots across Asia, including East, South, Southeast, and Central Asia, as well as the Pacific Islands and the Middle East? Building on the success of its Lunar New Year festival last year, Tulsa Asian Fest honors the heritage and stories of Asian Tulsans. The festival features local cultural performances, artisans, food vendors, and educational booths, with free entry and garage parking. —Alicia Chesser
