Taste of Asia 2023

Experience NORTH AMERICA’S LARGEST OUTDOOR ASIAN STREET FESTIVAL. Three days of cultural events, family-friendly attractions, and food.

Taste of Asia, Canada’s largest Asian festival, is an annual event organized by the York Region, the City of Markham, the Federation of Chinese Canadians in Markham (FCCM), and Association of Progressive Muslims of Canada (APMC). It is an exciting, high-energy event celebrating harmony, cuisine, and culture for the past seventeen years. Heading into our 20th milestone, we have pledged to bring more culturally diverse activities to the GTA- both flavorful and fun!

Taste of Asia was first introduced in 2003 during the SARS outbreak to boost the local economy. The first Taste of Asia festival also provided a platform for the community to promote the multicultural mosaic of Canada and create harmony between various cultural groups through an event that fostered mutual respect and cooperation. The FCCM and the APMC host the annual multicultural event. Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti not only endorses the festival but is also the co-chair of Taste of Asia.
