Taste of Asia event to celebrate Asian cultures and food Sunday in St. Paul
Taste of Asia is coming to Union Depot this Sunday, Oct. 23, with food and performances all day that spotlight Minnesota’s Asian communities.
The event runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and features 37 vendors and more than a dozen cultural activities and performances. The all-day schedule ranges from traditional Chinese, Indian, Cambodian and Vietnamese dances to a Hmong fashion show to Japanese taiko drumming. Plus, plenty of food is on offer from vendors such as Master Noodle, Gorkha Palace and Taiwanese Sausages of South St. Paul. Free tickets are available online.
Organizers also say they’ll announce details at the event about the grand opening of Asia Mall, a pan-Asian shopping center under construction in Eden Prairie. The indoor mall, originally slated to open this summer in the site of a former Gander Mountain store, will contain an Asian grocery store and several restaurants, plus other community services.
Taste of Asia is organized by the Chinese Community Center along with partners including Asian Media Access and the Hmong Minnesota Chamber of Commerce.
Union Depot regularly holds cultural and family events in St. Paul, including BOOnion Depot on Oct. 30, one of many Halloween happenings in the Twin Cities.
