Kanoya Asian Festival
In order to increase international awareness in the local area, the Kanoya International Exchange Association (KIEA) will be holding an event, in conjunction with the Ossumi Lakeside Festival, called the ‘Kanoya Asian Festival’.
At this event we will be introducing a number of different aspects from various Asian cultures such as, games, cuisine, music, folk costumes etc.
This will be an excellent opportunity for children (and adults too!) to gain a global perspective, so please ask your friends and family to come along too.
