Vendors & Exhibitors

Join Us at the 12th Annual AsianFest: Story of US September 26, 2026

NewBo City Market: 1100 3rd ST SE, Cedar Rapids, IA

IAA is preparing for the 12th Annual AsianFest, The Story of Us, and we look forward to celebrating with communities across Iowa. Last year, more than 10,000 attendees joined us to experience the sights, sounds, and flavors of Asia. Guests explored cultural exhibits and history while enjoying authentic cuisine, live music, cultural performances, and interactive activities for all ages.

Events like AsianFest are only possible through community participation. Vendors and exhibitors help bring the festival to life by sharing food, products, services, and cultural traditions with thousands of attendees.

Thank you in advance for being part of an event that encourages lifelong learning and celebrates the diversity of our communities. We are excited to welcome vendors and exhibitors as AsianFest returns on September 26, 2026, at NewBo City Market in Cedar Rapids.

Vendor applications will open soon for the 2026 festival.
