AsiaTown is joining the national movement to support small businesses, but not just on Small Business Saturday. Do the Shop Small Crawl year-round to support AsiaTown small businesses.
We are launching Imagine AsiaTown, a process to shape a collective strategic vision for our neighborhood’s future that is centered on the unique gifts each person brings to help turn that vision into reality. We invite you – as community members who live, work, shop, and visit AsiaTown – to imagine and contribute to this future.
We're offering free meals to those in need of food and encouragement while supporting AsiaTown small businesses. Check back here for updates about meal distributions and how to help.
All AsiaTown restaurants are now open for takeout or delivery, and many are open for dining! Wondering what to order? We have you covered with some meal recommendations! We're keeping a running list of restaurants that are open during the pandemic.
Five Ways To Support Local Business During the Pandemic
As we’re staying at home to flatten the curve and do our part to stop the spread, we’re seeing many ways that small businesses (especially in AsiaTown!) are getting hit particularly hard. Here are some creative ways to support small businesses while keeping your distance.
恭喜發財! Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival, celebrates the beginning of the lunar calendar and is one of the most celebrated holidays in East and Southeast Asian countries. Celebrate in AsiaTown with firecrackers, the lion dance, and the dragon dance, which chase away evil spirits and usher in good luck for the new year.
This annual volunteer-run festival highlights Cleveland’s AsiaTown and the diversity of Asian culture in Northeast Ohio each May, honoring Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. The festival features live entertainment with dozens of performances, a World Marketplace with food, artisan goods, and other vendors, a Health Pavilion, activities and games, fashion show, and pop dance competition.
