"The
Asian Festival at the Institute of Texan Cultures located at the UTSA
HemisFair Park Campus in downtown San Antonio is a community event
honoring Asian cultures and traditions from the Pacific Rim. The
Asian Festival brings together organizations rich in Eastern culture,
showcasing their respective cultures with an educational and
entertaining approach. The event includes martial arts demonstrations,
botanicals and mouthwatering cuisine from more than a dozen Far Eastern
countries – such as Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese,
Pakistani, Filipino, and Polynesian. Dance groups will entertain you.
Cooking demonstrations will tease your taste buds. Activities for the
younger visitors include making paper lanterns, origami, and more. From
songs and dances to bonsai and Ikebana, from jujitsu and tai chi to
chopsticks and origami, visitors have a special opportunity to learn
the "how and why" of many age-old customs, and thus gain a greater
appreciation of them and of those who practice them."
