Lunar Fest is the only collaborative event ever undertaken in Riverside for the diverse Asian Pacific countries represented in Inland Southern California. Nearly twenty thousand people attended the first Lunar Festival; it was, perhaps, the largest festival ever hosted in Downtown Riverside. Lunar Fest, an affiliate of the International Relations Council of Riverside (IRC), commemorates the contributions of Asian Pacific Americans to the education and history of Riverside and the region. Past and recent members of this diverse group have built the railroads, worked in the citrus groves, and contributed to international educations through Riverside's Asian Sister City relationships via IRC. Lunar Fest brings together Riverside's diverse cultural communities, to learn, share, and celebrate our City's ties to the Pacific Rim.
The 2012 Lunar Fest will feature a spectacular parade, with traditional performances in martial arts, song, dance and music through-out the day. Cultural trade goods and foods from the Pacific Rim, provided by Inland Region small businesses, will be featured. We are working with local school districts to promote art, film, music and cultural exhibits from and about our Asian Sister Cities in China, Japan, Korea and India in addition to other Pan Pacific Rim Countries. Our Children's Village was a huge success this year, families loved the event, and we expect that it will grow. With the generosity of a major sponsor, free activities such as origami, calligraphy, arts and crafts, games, and a balloon artist will be available for children to experience and enjoy. To conclude the festivities, we will welcome the Year of the Dragon with a spectacular fireworks display. I hope to see you at the festivities and we thank you for your continued support.
