Ottawa Asian Festival.
This weekend of September 10-11 Ottawa's Chinatown will be holding its first Ottawa Asian community open market festival.
It is a part of the City of Ottawa's 150th birthday celebrations. The festival is a symbol of Ottawa's rich cultural resources. It is designed to showcase the cultures and traditions of the Far East in Ottawa. It could well become an annual event.
The weekend market will be held in the parking lot at the corner of Somerset Street West and Cambridge Street and will feature lion dances, traditional Thai and Cambodian dances and martial arts demonstrations.
There will also be stalls selling a variety of goods. And then of course there is the food. Yum!
Admission is free and open to all. The festival is scheduled to open at 11 a.m. on Saturday September 10 and runs until 5 p.m. The hours for Sunday are also the same.
Look for a booth with a slew of enthusiastic teachers promoting the Ottawa ESL Schools.
