Downtown Tallahassee was packed Saturday afternoon with people from many different cultures. It was all for the 8th annual Asian Festival.

Hundreds of people had the chance to see fun performances.

There were dozens of vendors selling, food, crafts and other items.

Festival planners hopes it brings more awareness to the Asian community in Tallahassee.

The festival was called "Experience Asia 2012" and the hosting organization was Asian Coalition of Tallahassee.
