There will be exhibitors from both for-profit and non-profit organizations and food vendors representing Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Korean cuisines and booths representing organizations like Indian Association of Tallahassee, Big Bend Filipino-American Association, FSU-International Center, Tallahassee Families with Asian Children, and Chinese Association of Tallahassee, and others. The festival will also feature a demonstration stage where experts from various martial arts, folk arts, Tai-Chi and Falun Gong will show and explain their art forms.
