North Texas FRUiTS Meetup - Saturday, May 14

[Thanks to the lovely "bruisedlee" for making the graphic!]

We will meet at the Annette Strauss Artist Square for Asian Festival 2005 on Saturday, May 14, 2005 at 1:30 p.m.. The Asian Festival strives to introduce Asian Cultures to the North Texas population as a part of the celebration of May as the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. The festival also promotes unity within various Asian American communities.

Lion dance, martial arts, sumo wrestling and Japanese drums will again grace the Annette Strauss Artist Square as a part of this year’s Asian Festival presented by the Greater Dallas Asian American Chamber of Commerce and the Crow Collection of Asian Art Museum. This FREE event showcases authentic Asian cuisine, cultural entertainment and activities for children into a daylong festival celebrating the National Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

This fun, colorful and festive event will unite Asian cultures while creating a diverse marketplace featuring native arts & crafts, music, dance, food, martial arts and children’s activities. Unique cuisine from Indonesia, Korea, China, Japan, India, Laos, Vietnam, the Philippines and other countries will be sold by independent vendors. The children’s area, Passport to Asia for Kids, will provide activities culturally relevant to the traditions of the arts of Asia such as origami, face painting, henna painting, jewelry making, and many more.
