Several Asian associations and museums (Chinese-American Museum of Chicago and Chicago Children's Museum) will offer such activities such as: craft making, face painting, balloon artistry, opera mask making, henna painting and many more activities for the entire family. A Chinese Lion Dance, and Malaysian Kompang will lead the grandiose opening.

Sit back and enjoy the many performances of the participating Asian groups such as the Nepalese community as well as those by the Korean community. Bring your cameras and have fun taking pictures with Asians dressed in their native costumes.
