21st Anniversary Message
Welcome to the twenty-first annual Pacific Rim Street Festival (PRSF)
celebration in Old Sacramento and the Downtown Plaza. The Planning Committee has been working all
year to bring you "Shoes of the Asian Pacific Rim." Whether it's fashionable or functional,
footwear has evolved and changed so much in relation to comfort and style.
Vision and Dream: Frank Fat is still an important aspect of this event. He
wanted to have a festival where we could learn about each other's cultures and
appreciate our similarities and differences—and be a community together.
The planning committee members deserve a round of applause for their
dedication and direction to put this festival together for our 21st anniversary. To
the volunteers: We could not put this festival on without your help each year.
And of course, a thank you goes out to our returning and new sponsors who
support this event. What a great team to put on this festival!
Come check out all of the activities from the entertainers at the four stages to the
food at one of our food vendors and food trucks. Stop by the Children's Activity
area to see what's being created. Purchase a PRSF t-shirt or merchandise from
one of our Art and Craft vendors. We hope you enjoy the day at the Pacific Rim
Street Festival.

Festival History & Background
In
1993, the first Pacific Rim Street Fest was presented
in Old Sacramento by the restauranteur, Frank Fat, and
community groups. With his ever optimistic spirit, he
was able to create a coalition of community leaders and
succeed in seeing his dream of a street festival come
to pass.
For the past eighteen years the festival has displayed the
richness and diversity of many Pacific Rim cultures
through cultural programs, entertainment, art and
food. The event also enhances the community's knowledge
of Asian/Pacific Island cultures in a fun and positive
environment.
The
Annual Pacific Rim Street Fest is scheduled for May
22, 2011 from 10:00am-5:00pm in Old Sacramento and
Westfield Downtown Plaza. Having
people of all ages and backgrounds at the event offers
an excellent vehicle for leading businesses to showcase
their support for the Asian American community. Each
year we feature an aspect of Asian culture as the theme
of the festival. For the year 2011, the theme is "Spice".
