Cleveland Asian Festival named Best Festival
March 23, 2015 Cleveland, OH – The Cleveland Asian
Festival was named Best Festival by Cleveland Hot List voters. The
Cleveland Hot List (http://cleveland.cityvoter.com) features more
than 6,000 businesses competing for the title of Cleveland’s best.
The results are based on more than 100,000 votes from local experts.
The competition was between over 10 longtime and newer Cleveland
area festivals and the Cleveland Asian Festival climbed to the top
in a relatively short time. 2015 marks the 6th year of the Cleveland
Asian Festival.
Cleveland Asian Festival founder Johnny Wu said, “We truly
appreciate the many people who voted for our festival. This is a
proof that we are doing something right and that many enjoyed their
time at the Cleveland Asian Festival.”
The annual two-day event typically draws about 40,000 people to
Cleveland’s Asia Town and they spend about $2 million at the event
and in the area.
One voter’s note summed up the responses: “Even though it’s called
the ‘Cleveland Asian Festival’ this spectacular two-day event is
filled with so much culture and diversity; not just that of Asian
descent, but the culture and diversity of Cleveland as well. As a
growing city, festivals like these bring a city together, and it’s
always a great time!”

great way for festival goers to learn about their health and health
services from local experts. Health care organizations benefit from
