This year's theme is Greener Tomorrow for Youth, as California leads the nation to build a greener and better community and planet for our future generations.

Starting at Capitol Mall, the all-day event will officially kick-off with a 90-minute parade which begins at 11:00AM. From there, parade watchers will make their way to the festival where booths are lined up between 5th and 8th Streets to delight generations of all ages – from ethnic dishes that will whet your appetite to colorful ethnic costumes. Stage performances and the Youth Artwork Contest are also parts of the festival. Our planning committee seeks to showcase cultural diversity in a friendly, peaceful, and harmonious venue to present Sacramento as one.
