28th Annual Asian Festival: Celebrating Asian Heritage Month in Dallas

The Asian Festival is the flagship event of the Greater Dallas Asian American Chamber of Commerce (GDAACC). As an Asian American Chamber, GDAACC is committed to honoring the diverse Asian cultures that call North Texas home. Over the years, the festival has grown into the largest Asian celebration in the region.

Home Depot’s Asian Festival will launch early to kick off Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month on April 29 at Klyde Warren Park, running from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Do the festival right
This year, the Crow Collection of Asian Art joins GDAACC as a museum partner, bringing the festival closer to the Arts District so attendees can fully immerse themselves in the arts and cultural experience.

Travel to the Arts District effortlessly: hop on DART, the M‑Line Trolley, D‑Link, or the Streetcar from Bishop Arts.

Enjoy a free, family‑friendly event packed with interactive activities, live entertainment, and art booths that appeal to all ages. The performance stage will feature a lineup of artists from across Asia—from India to China—sharing traditional performances that weave stories through aesthetics and movement. Highlights include Hula dancing and Bollywood shows.

Stop by the Crow Collection of Asian Art booth for a rich cultural experience filled with Asian crafts, games, and an interactive Wishing Tree installation. Home Depot, a major sponsor, will showcase organic vegetable and herb gardening. Children can also participate in DIY activities, building a wooden toolbox or bird feeder to keep them engaged.

Grab a bite to eat
Klyde Warren Park will host a variety of food trucks for quick bites, and nearby restaurants such as Savor Gastropub and Relish offer delicious options to satisfy any craving while you soak up the sunshine.

Explore the rest of the Arts District
Make the day complete by visiting the neighboring museums—all within walking distance of Klyde Warren Park. Take in the free admission at the Crow Collection of Asian Art, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Nasher Sculpture Center.
