On behalf of the Lao Americans Organization of San Diego (LAOSD), we are excited to bring back the San Diego Lao Food Festival. This festival will help celebrate World Refugee Day and will be held on June 22-23, 2024 at the Mira Mesa Community Park.  We are humbly asking for your support as a sponsor or exhibitor at the 2nd annual event. 

LAOSD continues to put community first. San Diego is home to one of the largest populations of Lao Americans. Last year’s festival was met with overwhelming support from the community at large and will serve as a successful growth roadmap for this year’s event. At this year’s festival, we aim to elevate underserved businesses, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits while showcasing the diverse and rich cuisine of Laos. This fun family friendly festival will feature expanded programming to include: authentic Lao food, cooking competitions and demonstrations, talented artists and musicians, night concert, museum exhibits, children activity center, sports tournaments, carnival and games, local vendors and a rich cultural experience.

This is an excellent opportunity for your business or organization to establish a presence in the Lao American community, introduce new products or services, and further your organization’s commitment to supporting diversity and inclusive local community.

​

Estimated impact exposure and recognition, we expect:

• 15,000+ in attendance

• Social Media, local newspaper and news broadcasts

These opportunities go alongside our strategic marketing campaigns, activating channels such as

community print publications, local newspapers, social media, search engine marketing and guest appearances on local news broadcasts.

• Be a part of history and support diversity, equity and inclusion
