The countdown is almost over! The 49th annual Utah Asian Festival is happening this Saturday at the Utah State Fairpark from 11 AM to 10 PM, and we can’t wait to celebrate with the community.
Hosted by the Asian Association of Utah, the Utah Asian Festival is one of the state’s largest cultural celebrations, bringing together more than 15,000 attendees each year for a full day of food, performances, art, and community connection.
Best of all, the festival remains completely free and open to everyone.
The Utah Asian Festiva is a celebration of heritage, storytelling, and community. It reflects the mission and history of the Asian Association of Utah, which was founded in 1977 when Salt Lake City’s Asian community came together to help resettle Vietnamese refugees. Today, AAU serves refugees, refugee youth, and survivors of human trafficking from over 100 countries.
While the organization has expanded over the years, the festival continues to honor the Asian communities and cultural traditions that helped shape AAU’s beginnings.
Stop By the AAU Tent
Be sure to visit the AAU tent during the festival. You’ll find us right in front of the entrance to the Grand Building. We’ll have special-edition festival fans available to help you stay cool, along with information about AAU programs, volunteer opportunities, and ways to get involved in supporting our community.
We’d love to meet you and celebrate together.
Support the Festival Through the Silent Auction
