Alamo City Moms Blog is thrilled to partner with the Asian Festival to share news about this upcoming local event. This is a sponsored post.
The 2019 Asian Festival brings together this city’s thriving Asian communities, giving San Antonians the chance to discover Asia and celebrate the Chinese New Year without ever stepping on a plane.
Visitors of all ages can enjoy captivating music, set out on journeys with storytellers, see a stunning, fireworks-filled lion dance, create arts and crafts, and much more! Spending Saturday, February 9th at the 2019 Asian Festival is the perfect opportunity to introduce young and old to the diverse Asian cultures that surround us every day.
The Asian Festival began more than 30 years ago as a traditional family reunion for the Chinese New Year. As things in Texas tend to do, it kept getting bigger. The Asian Festival now incorporates Asian cultures from mainland China, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asian nations, and the island nations of the Pacific.
