The story

Utah Asian Festival in Sandy

Utah Asian Festival is a free, one-day celebration of Asian and Pacific Islander cultures organized by the Asian Association of Utah, drawing over 15,000 attendees to the Utah State Fairpark in Salt Lake City each June. The 49th annual festival ran Saturday, June 6, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., with more than 30 food trucks and booths, over 70 artisan and cultural booths, a health fair, and a full day of music, dance, and martial arts performances.

Utah Asian Festival is organized each year by the Asian Association of Utah, a nonprofit whose broader mission includes resettlement and community support work alongside cultural programming.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Utah Asian Festival has grown from a smaller community gathering into one of the largest single-day cultural festivals in the state, run entirely by the Asian Association of Utah as both a cultural showcase and a practical community service, pairing entertainment with a mini health fair and booths for Asian-owned small businesses and nonprofits

02

The mystery stays covered

Its scale sets it apart locally: more than 30 food trucks and booths cover a wide range of Asian cuisines side by side, over 70 vendor booths mix artisans with cultural displays, and the performance lineup moves continuously through traditional and contemporary music, dance, and martial arts across a single long day rather than a spread-out weekend, all building toward its 50th anniversary in 2027
