The 5th Annual Taste of Asia Festival again will be held at the junction of Kennedy Road and Steele’s Ave. just outside Market Village, one of Canada’s busiest shopping centers. Entrance is FREE to everyone, and is expected to draw upwards of 50 000 visitors over the two days. Over 100 Basketball teams have already signed up for one of the largest street basketball tournaments in the GTA, while Greyhound will provide shuttle service from the Markham Civic Centre to the Taste of Asia Festival at no charge to riders.

This year’s performances again will highlight cultural performances of music, singing, live bands, dances and much, much more… One of the highlights of this years’ event will be a special Kung Fu performance by seven revered Monks of the China Songshan Shaolin Temple and Elly and Bluenotes band performing a Las Vegas style performance of R&B, Motown, Pop Rock, Dance and Ballad songs/variety. As well, we will have performances from the finalists of the Singing Contest, the Lion Dance and Live to air show hosted by Fairchild Radio with special guest from Hong Kong and an evening street dance. All this is sure to keep you busy all day and into the night.

Everyone is welcome to enter a free contest to win two return Business Class airfares courtesy of Saudi Arabian Airlines from New York City to any location served by Saudi Arabian Airlines. Just enter your ballot at the Taste of Asia festival and you may be the lucky winner. Car Guide Chinese will showcase 30 of this years top car models at the Taste of Asia from local dealers. Of course it could not be the Taste of Asia Festival without food…. Vendors will provide cultural delights and wares in an open market atmosphere along Kennedy Road for the two days from 12:00 Noon on Saturday to 2:00 am and Sunday 12:00 Noon to 6 pm. Booths are available at $500.00 per food booth and $300.00 per regular booth. We welcome anyone wishing to sponsor or donate to make this year the best Taste of Asia Festival to date.
