About Asian Festival

For a weekend, the ChorusLife space in Bergamo fills with the scents and colors of Asia. The Asian Festival is a large free celebration dedicated to Eastern cuisine and traditions: Korean and Chinese street food, sushi, pad thai, sake and Japanese beer, but also calligraphy workshops, dances, dragon and lion parades, martial arts performances, and pop culture with K-pop, cosplay, and DJ sets. A journey through the Asian continent without leaving the province of Bergamo.

Asia Arrives at ChorusLife

The Asian Festival is the free event dedicated to Asian cuisine and cultures held at ChorusLife, in Via Carlo Serassi 26 in Bergamo. For three days, the city hub becomes a large oriental market filled with flavors, shows, and traditions from various Asian countries.

A Journey Through Flavors

The heart of the festival is its gastronomic offering, inspired by Asian street food: specialties of Korean and Chinese cuisine, sushi, pad thai, noodles, accompanied by sake and Japanese beer. A culinary journey that allows you to taste authentic and popular dishes from the continent.

Shows, Workshops, and Pop Culture

Alongside the food, the program includes workshops on Chinese calligraphy, personalized fans, knot art, and chopstick use, in collaboration with the Chinese School of Bergamo. Traditional dances, dragon and lion parades, martial arts performances, and pop culture events with K-pop, cosplay, and DJ sets take turns on stage.

A Celebration for Bergamo

Promoted by Barley Arts and Buono-Food Events in collaboration with ChorusLife, the Asian Festival is a free admission event designed for families, the curious, and enthusiasts of Eastern culture, enriching Bergamo's event calendar with a weekend of international flavor.
