Cleveland Asian Festival in St. Patrick's Day Parade

Once again this year, leaders of the Cleveland Asian Festival and affiliated groups represented the AsiaTown Community by marching in the 57th Annual Cleveland St. Patrick's Day Parade on March 17, 2015. The group was one of about 200 marching units that paraded for the estimated 125,000 attendees that lined Superior Avenue in Downtown Cleveland. The Asian Festival has participated in the parade for the last six years, and was joined this year by representatives of OCA Greater Cleveland Asian American Advocates, Yume Daiko Japanese Taiko Drums, Yin Tang Dance Company, Shaolin Kung Fu School of Arts, OCA Cleveland Dragon Dance Team (a partnership with Confucius Institute at CSU), CAF Panda, and volunteers that helped with transportation. Li Wah Restaurant also supported the group by providing an after-parade meal. In the parade were: Lisa Wong (unit organizer), Wayne Wong, Dorjan Scott, Siu Yan Scott, Scott Child, Yin Tang Dance, Chris Blackfire, Eva Fong, Matthew Richards, Samantha Clark Werstler, Werstler Child, Rey Galindo, Prakash Sinha, Stacey Ortman, Ahmed Alruwaili, Wasil Klash and the very popular CAF Panda!
