Halifax, NS - May 13, 2024 - Taste Asian fans, supporters, and foodies, get ready to indulge in the ultimate culinary and cultural experience at Taste Asia 2024! With great anticipation and excitement, we are thrilled to announce the official unveiling of Taste Asia 2024 Programming, promising an array of new programs and innovations.

This year's Taste Asia event will be bigger and better than ever before, as we expand to occupy both Foundation Wharf and the Beach Volleyball Area, now designated as the T Zone and A Zone, respectively. Boasting a total of over 55 vendors, attendees can expect a delightful fusion of food, beverages, activities, performances, and crafts across both zones.

NEW to 2024!

In an effort to create a cashless experience, Taste Asia 2024 is proud to introduce the Taste Asia “E-Access Card” in partnership with Snaplii. This digital gift card allows users to top-up in advance and shop seamlessly across the entire event.
