Perfect weather and smiling faces created an amazing backdrop for our 39th annual Oregon Asian Celebration on Saturday, July 27th.

To all our performers who came from near and far, amazing marketplace and food vendors who showcased their creative talents, products, and cuisine; and our hardworking volunteers and supportive sponsors, we can’t thank you enough!

The event’s planning committee went beyond the call of duty to provide a wonderful cultural experience for all ages.

We are already gearing up for our 40th anniversary and planning some exciting additions to next year’s festival.

As always, everyone is welcome to get involved and help make the Asian Celebration a memorable event! Please contact us!

Celebrate our 40th Anniversary in 2025, and see you next summer!
