The sixth annual Experience Asia 2010 Festival was held at the Bloxham and Lewis Parks (part of the Chain of Parks) in Downtown Tallahassee on Saturday, October 09, 2010 between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM. There were performers from India, the Philippines, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, China, Thailand and other countries. There were group songs, group dances, musical performances, martial arts demonstrations, information booths, and ethnic vendors of food, fashion, jewelry, arts, and crafts.

It was a perfect Saturday in early October in Tallahassee. The temperature was ideal high seventies to low eighties. There was no rain or clouds in the sky. Early in the morning with help from my EC colleagues I set-up the India Association of Tallahassee's booth in Bloxham park. The program started with IATLH group performing a prayer song in the Lewis park's main stage.

Throughout the day Bhanu, Lakshmi, and Mausumi helped people with wearing Indian sari. VTS and PKB talked to the people who stopped by our booth and answered questions about India and IATLH. The sari wearing demonstration was a big success with more 15 women took part in it. We were helped by Gujarati Samaj's booth since they sold saris and we did the how to wear a sari demo.

Here are couple of pictures from that day.
