So you didn't take my cue and go to the Indonesian Independence Celebration, and now you're wishing you had something Asian to do:

Asian Festival in DC:

The "Asian Festival" is now a two-day FREE ADMISSION event to promote a greater understanding of Asian countries and culture. This year we are showcasing China to celebrate the spirit of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. In addition, all participating Asian countries have an opportunity to share their unique music, cultural performances, food, fashion, handicrafts, and other products and entertainment. The Asian Festival which has grown into huge success in the D.C. Metro Area has blended together trade opportunities, product marketing, entertainment, food and tennis, creating an event that has something for everyone, and for all ages!

We went last year, it's pretty good. Multiple stages, many Asian cultures represented, great food, great music, good times. Hope to see you there!
