The city of Toronto is set to celebrate Asian heritage in style with ARC World, a one-day festival curated by the Asian Roots Collective. Hosted at Kerr Hall, the event invites everyone to immerse themselves in a rich tapestry of food, music, and cultural activities.
A highlight of the day will be the celebrity basketball game, featuring Marvel’s Simu Liu and former Toronto Raptors star Jeremy Lin. This high-octane match promises to be a crowd-pleaser and a fitting finale to the festival’s diverse lineup.
The festival is not just about entertainment—attendees can indulge in authentic Asian cuisine, discover contemporary art, and hear from speakers who will share stories of resilience and achievement within the Asian community.
Clement Chu, one of the event’s organizers, sees ARC World as a platform to inspire and connect people. The Asian Roots Collective’s evolution from a basketball club to a full-fledged community center underscores its mission to empower youth and celebrate cultural heritage.
