Visitors will be able to experience the cultural diversity of Asia at stalls for each of the countries taking part, get a taste of authentic Asian cuisine and join thematic workshops and studios. On the festival stage guests will be able to listen to music, watch dancing or martial arts demonstrations embodying the spirit and traditions of Asia.
