Hosting a Booth
Q: I want to reach out to the Asian Pacific American community but don't know where to start.
A: Hosting a booth at the annual Asian Pacific American Heritage Festival allows you to participate in an event that brings together most of the Asian Pacific American organizations in New York City in one location for an entire day! Hosting a booth also comes with a description of your organization or booth which will be listed in the Festivals souvenir brochure.
 
For organizations: Hosting a booth allows your organization to distribute information, meet people, other organizations and businesses, increase your membership, and, of course, have fun. You can also take the opportunity to sell items or food to raise funds for the organization.
 
For businesses: Hosting a booth allows your business to distribute information, develop mailing lists, sell items or food, and meet the members of the community. The festival provides an excellent opportunity for any business to get visible exposure within the community.

Food
Q: How does my organization or business sell Asian Pacific American food at the festival?
A:Food is such an inherent part of the Asian Pacific American cultures, and what better way to learn about it than to sample the cuisine from the regions of China, India, Korea, Philipines, Vietnam, Thai, Malaysia, Tibet, Japanese, and many more. Due to park regulations, open flame is not allowed at any booth for cooking or heating of food. A festival that lasts the whole day makes many people hungry and thirsty, so CAPA encourages organizations and booths to sell food and drink. Selling food or drink requires the hosting a booth, complete our online Booths form or e-mail us for more info at [email protected] To download the form, click here
