From 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Levitt Pavilion is holding its fourth annual Asian Heritage Celebration. <\/p>\n

The celebration will include performances and vendors selling goods from several Asian countries. <\/p>\n

Angela Pe\u00f1a, Levitt Pavilion communications and program development director, said the event is not like a regular festival; instead, it\u2019s an educational festival. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s over 50 countries that make up the Asian population, and we have about 35 of them represented at this event,\u201d Pe\u00f1a said. <\/p>\n

She said performances will range from K-pop dances by a dance troupe to Philippine dancers. <\/p>\n

Levitt Pavilion began hosting cultural events when the city formed advisory councils to hear voices from diverse communities.<\/p>\n

Pe\u00f1a said the community has been receptive to the events, and Levitt Pavilion has continued them, as it falls into the nonprofit\u2019s mission to represent the community. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese festivals have meant connecting with the community more,\u201d she said. \u201cMusic brings joy to people, and then when you layer it with festival, food, shopping, retail, the community really shows up. And so for us, it truly has meant just being more a part of the community.\u201d <\/p>\n
