Our Vision
Hosting a festival for 15,000+ has significant cost, coordination, and volunteer hours. We continue our tradition of hosting a family-friendly event which is free to all, especially for our new immigrant and refugee Asian communities. While this event is volunteer-driven, additional financial support from sponsors enable us to cover the costs associated with the venue and festival experience, including additional streaming costs, stage expenses, equipment rentals, and children’s activities while also being able to support the 501(c)(3) Asian Association of Utah’s social services to refugees, immigrants, and human trafficking survivors.
Your sponsorship connects you with the fastest growing immigrant demographic in Utah and supports the social services arm of the Asian Association of Utah—a 47-year old non-profit providing wrap-around services to refugees and human trafficking survivors in Utah building self-sufficiency and thriving.
Utah Asian Festival 2026
The Utah Asian Festival has grown to over 15,000 attendees who attend this family-friendly, one-day Festival to discover a diverse array of delectable cuisines from our 30+ food trucks/booths, 70+ booths featuring local artisans, educational cultural booths, Asian-owned businesses, mini health fair, and local nonprofits. And finally, they explore the captivating performance lineup, showcasing an enchanting blend of music, dance, martial arts, and cultural demonstrations.
