SARDUC and RDUAE, two Asian cultural groups in the area, are hosting their first Fall Fest! Subtle Asian RDU Crew is a friendship meetup group and RDU Asian Eats is a community of foodies that supports local businesses. SARDUC x RDUAE Fall Fest takes place Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at The Corner @ NCSU Centennial, North Carolina. Please note that the start and end times have been updated. It's free, but ticketed. Please sign up for a time to help with planning. If you cannot make the event, please cancel your ticket so that they get an accurate headcount. The two grups are coming together to celebrate all the Asian-owned businesses in the community by offering performances by local artists, food and arts and crafts from vendors, and beginner friendly Hong Kong style mahjong games. Come kick off the event with some K-pop mat pilates, stay for matcha and mahjong, browse shops for some gifts crafted by local artists, and hang out for a picnic with food by ItsaWrap and Kuya Bear Food and watch some local artists share their talents.

SARDUC x RDUAE Fall Fest — Asian Festival is a community celebration highlighting local Asian-owned businesses, artists, and food vendors at NC State's Centennial Campus. Organized by two prominent local cultural groups, the morning features live performances, arts and crafts, and introductory Hong Kong style mahjong games. You can even start the day with an outdoor K-pop pilates session before grabbing a matcha. While the festival is free to attend, you must register for a specific entry time slot online to help organizers manage the crowd. The outdoor venue at The Corner is stroller-friendly, making it easy to navigate with toddlers. Bring a reusable tote bag for your market finds and some pocket cash, as some smaller vendors may prefer it over cards. This is a smart Saturday morning stop because it offers a relaxed, open-air environment where kids can experience new sights and sounds. The mid-day wrap-up time of 2:30 PM means you can easily head home in time for afternoon naps.
