The final weekend of September is a big one this year in Wichita.

Usually, the big Wichita Asian Festival happens in October. But this year it’s been bumped up to September. The event, which always draws thousands of people for cultural performances, a Miss Asian pageant and lots and lots of food vendors, will happen from 5 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday at Century II’s Convention and Exhibition halls. The event, put on by the Wichita Asian Association, is in its 44th year. Tickets are $5 and available in advance at selectaseat.com or at the door. Children under 10 get in for free.
