  • I am from Los Angles and was really looking forward to being able to celebrate my favorite holiday here in Phoenix. This event was a huge disappointment. It looked more like a swap meet than a cultural event. There was limited opportunities for learning anything about the culture, no parade, no traditional New Years food, no pasteries or candies. There were windows/doors for sale, time shares, the Republican Party, SRP and the water company. The lack of "fireworks" filled with confetti for children was another disappointment. A store in the Mekong market place supplied about half the Chinese themed booths. The children's pavilion had crafts that didn't teach about the cultural and were preschool level at best. The people running the children's area packed up about 30 minutes before the scheduled time to end (the children's pavilion didn't even stay open for half the time the festival was occurring. The people in that ran the children's area in L.A. and San Francisco seemed to enjoy teaching the children, these women couldn't wait for them to leave. The food was the same Asian themed food that was at the Ahola festival. There was no traditional food offered. I attended both Friday and Saturday in hopes of seeing improvement but there was none. The attitude observed on Friday was also observed on Saturday. I understand the need to make money but teach people about your cultural and give them an appreciation for why the holiday is celebrated the way it is. There were no lanterns to signify the end of the holiday. It was only about selling trinkets. The photo booth was empty on Friday and had a few backdrops hanging. As with almost every post I was going to take a photo of Alley to go along with the review. Alley was a tad too short for the backdrops but we were trying. A lady came up as I was taking my last shot and was upset I was using he backdrops. I asked why, and she replied I could have ruined them. Puzzled I walked away...how could I ruin a backdrop by using it as a backdrop? They were already outside. Today I went back and the photo booth was up and running with costumes and they charge was $3. The issue wasn't that I let Alley stand near the backdrop even though she was too short for it to be used, it was because I didn't pay. The aloha festival and the Japanese festival were far better.
