The 16th annual Asian Cultural Festival was held at the Speed Art museum this Saturday, May 22, from 12 to 4p.  Visitors will be able to experience the art, dancing and culture of different countries including Japan, China, India, Uzbekistan and others. All of the festivities are free to the public and if you feel the urge to try an asian dish or two, food will be offered outside along with outdoor activities.
 
“There’s really such a thriving Asian community here in Louisville and the surrounding area and it’s wonderful to see all of these people come together and have a great time and learn at about each other’s cultures,” said Kirsten Popp, Speed Art Museum.

It seems as if the world is becoming smaller.  For that reason, I like to to lurn as much about different cultures as I can. Festivals like these are a great way to do that.
