Weekend Pentagon City bazaar to highlight Southeast Asian cultures

Authentic crafts and live performances will spotlight Southeast Asian cultures this weekend at a bazaar in Pentagon City.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations plans to host the ASEAN & Friends Bazaar from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday at the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City.

One-of-a-kind goods and participation from embassies of member nations will be part of the event, providing “a unique opportunity to engage with the ASEAN community and celebrate the unity of global cultures,” organizers said.

“We look forward to welcoming you to a memorable day of celebration and community,” said the Asian American Chamber of Commerce, which co-sponsors the event along with the ASEAN Spouses’ Circle and Simon Malls.

Admission is free, and advance registration is available through the Asian American Chamber of Commerce.

ASEAN was founded in 1967 by Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Joining later were Myanmar, Vietnam, Brunei Darussalam, Laos and Cambodia.
