It’s Asian Pacific Heritage Month and the Asian Cultural Festival is celebrating the diverse Asian Cultures here in Central Florida.

That celebration is happening at the Fashion Square Mall in Orlando Saturday, May 12 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. The event is free and showcases Asian culture in the form of food, dance, art and more.

Shally Wong, of Asian Trend Magazine and David Galindo, a long-time volunteer at the festival, join us to talk about the event and what it means for Asians and non-Asians attending.
