Asian Food Fest

(1)

Asian Food Fest (AFF) was created in 2010 by a diverse group of friends who wanted to spread their love of Asian food and culture through the city of Cincinnati. This vibrant community festival celebrates culture and cuisine from Asian countries including Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, China, and Malaysia. While food is definitely the heart of this festival, AFF also features live entertainment,

local craft and Asian beer, fun family activities, and more. Admission to the festival is free, but donations are encouraged – proceeds from the festival will go towards supporting the 501(c)(3) non­profit Asian American Cultural Association of Cincinnati (AACAC), and to host future Asian cultural events in Greater Cincinnati.

Meet Chunk and Carla — two Chinese adoptees, siblings, and the creative duo behind this year’s AAPI Heritage Month Tifo for FC Cincinnati. 🎨🧡

Growing up, they didn’t always have the chance to connect with their culture. Now, through art, they’re celebrating the fusion of Western and Eastern Asian influences in a Tifo designed for the whole community.

Join them at Asian Food Fest on Court Street, Today, from 11–6 in the Family Zone to help paint the Tifo — it’s a fun paint-by-number, no experience needed, just a good attitude and a willingness to get a little messy.

Then come see the final reveal on May 23 at the AAPI Heritage Month FC Cincinnati match in the Bailey section. Let’s paint together and celebrate our shared stories.
