Taste of Asia

The first Taste of Asia Festival was organized in 2003 to help Chinese businesses recover from the backlash of SARS. It was a one day festival and a lot of fun. Since then, the APMC has helped continue this tradition.

Since 2004, FCCM and the Association are jointly organizing this two-day street festival. Dr. Ken Ng, President of FCCM, is Chairman and Mobeen Khaja, President of the APMC, is Co-Chair. The two organizations work together to develop and expand this street festival into a truly Asian multicultural festival that is now held over 2 days - the last weekend in June, just before Canada Day.

This festival has been supported by the Town of Markham and several other organizations, including the Trillium Foundation since 2005. Market Village and Remington Group have been the main sponsors from the start.

A section of Kennedy Road, North of Steeles Avenue, adjacent to Market Village and Pacific Mall, is closed for this street festival. Asian ethnic cuisines, non-stop music and performances by many ethno-cultural groups on an outdoor and indoor stage in Market Village, games, exhibitions and various activities for all ages, are some of the highlights of this festival.
