On Saturday July 30th, the Asian Hall of Fame presented its inaugural Celebrate Asia Festival in LA. Benefitting its Brain Trauma Program which supports recovery expenses and research, the event featured performances from Rock & Roll Hall of Famers and Asian Hall of Fame Artist Ambassadors Danny Seraphine and his band CTA as well as Robby Krieger and his band.
The festival hosted vast display of artisans, cuisines, art, and performances including Kim Eung Hwa & Korean Dance Academy, koto artist Kozue Matsumoto, guzheng artist Joy Wu, and Thai artists Nattapol Wisuttipat and Veesapat Rueangrit.
Flocking guests from Seattle to San Francisco, it is no wonder the festival had guests dancing on their feet. All we can do now is wait for next year!
