6th Annual Asian-American Cultural Festival of Long Island

Celebrate diversity on Long Island by bringing the whole family to the 6th Annual Asian-American Cultural Festival in the spacious Multi-Purpose Room of Farmingdale State College. You’ll be enchanted by colorful displays, costumes, art exhibits and live traditional and contemporary entertainment from various parts of Asia. Feast on a selection of international foods at the outdoor food court. Watch exciting martial arts exhibitions. See a staged theater performance with professional singers and dancers. Listen to the sounds of WaFoo - the hottest Japanese jazz band in the tri-state area.  And vie to become the first Asian-American (Festival) Idol as you sing for charity (bring your own downloadable music for the karaoke machine) – with all proceeds going to Leadership Huntington, a community-based 501c3. There will be workshops for children, corporate and small business vendor displays, a lion dance, cultural parade, discount coupons from local merchants …and much more.
