“Asia Folk” festival is stage to promote cultural heritages of Asian countries. This is also platform where folklore artists and heritage keepers meet for networking and friendship, study from each others and find fantastic ideas of new performance. The festival also has contest program that winners get Grand prix and cash prizes. This is one of the ways to promote and support heritage keepers.

Also, changed the festival name as “Asia Folk” Folklore and Handcrafts Festival of Asia. We organize folklore contest and handcraft fair in range of the festival.

Those people are heroic messengers, sent from the sky to remind us who we were and who we should be. Root of human being is cultural heritage. Let our cultural heritage would enlighten our life.
