Shopping in the CDBF Marketplace is like visiting a bustling bazaar halfway around the world, with craftsfolk selling cool ethnic wares, toys for kids of all ages from here and from Asia, and organizations reaching out to explain their good causes. Politicians will be on hand at our election-year booth to share about their campaigns.

When you’re done with shopping, fuel up with a Culinary trip across the Pacific in our TWO Taste of Asia food courts. This year there’s more room and less crowds as you choose among Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Indian and lots more authentic Asian cuisines. Don’t miss the announcement around 3 pm Saturday at the Main Stage, of this year’s Taste of Asia Culinary Contest. Our celebrity judges will be sampling the fare and deciding who will win Best Entree, Best Dessert and Best Overall.
