Asian Events Trust Chair, Linda Lim, said the response from the community was overwhelming.
“Each year, we are amazed by the number of participants in this event. It has become an event Wellington looks forward to. We are thrilled to celebrate the cultural diversity of Wellington, where Asian communities come together to experience this rich mix of cultures.
“What started 23 years ago as a small celebration has flourished into one of Wellington’s biggest cultural events.” says Linda.
Global sauces and condiments brand Lee Kum Kee returned as the festival’s principal sponsor, continuing its commitment to promoting and sharing authentic Asian flavours and culture worldwide. Lee Kum Kee featured a diverse range of sauce products at their stall and the Lee Kum Kee Panda was popular, posing for photos and spreading joy among festival-goers.
“At Lee Kum Kee, our mission is to promote Chinese culinary culture worldwide. We’re thrilled to connect and engage with communities by supporting this event. This vibrant celebration embodies our commitment to honouring cultural traditions and fostering connections among diverse communities—values that are at the very heart of our brand,” said Gary Hui, Business Development Director – APAC, Oceania of Lee Kum Kee.
The Asian food market remained a crowd favourite. Lee Kum Kee offered a variety of sauces for free at the food market, including Premium Soy Sauce, Seasoned Soy Sauce for Dumpling, Gluten Free Oyster Sauce, and Chiu Chow Style Chilli Oil, to bring a superior culinary experience to the public. These sauces not only enhance the flavours of traditional dishes but also invite festival-goers to explore new culinary possibilities.
