Pan-Asian Fun

This Sunday is the Hammond Museum's annual Asian Arts Festival. Held in the museum's Japanese Stroll Garden, the festival features traditions from Japan, China, India, and Indonesia. There will be music, dance, food from area Asian restaurants, and children's crafts. The event starts at 1:00 with a performance of the Chinese Lion Dance (right). Crafts include origami, Rangoli painting, and Chinese brush painting. It's a fun experience, and the museum and garden are always worth a visit. Asian Arts Festival
