A Cultural Extravaganza Celebrating Asian Heritage
The association is committed to promoting different Chinese cultural activities. Last year, Richmond Hill, Ontario held the Uptown Asian Festival which aims to celebrate Asian cultures, commemorate Richmond Hill's 150th anniversary, promote community engagement, foster cross-cultural understanding, and provide a memorable experience for all attendees.
This year, we still strongly support Uptown Asian Festival. Participants will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the enchanting atmosphere of the Mid- Autumn Festival, with cultural performances, interactive activities, and culinary delights. See you in this Fall!
As we celebrate and enjoy the festivities, let us build bridges and create memories that resonate long after the celebrations conclude.
