The East Asian and Pacific Communities in the Pittsburgh region are as diverse and rich in culture as the countries they represent. Like many communities, they are spread throughout the region. Though they may not live in one specific neighborhood, they come together for cultural and community events such as the Dragon Boat Festival or the Pittsburgh Folk Festival. On a smaller scale, you may find community members enjoying tai chi in the park or mah jong nights at neighbors' houses.

Many individuals from Asian communities have established restaurants in the region expanding the range of available cuisine. Represented are Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Thai, and Vietnamese. Most members of the communities are established professionals in a wide range of fields. Many organizations and places of worship have been established for the sake of cultural, social, and religious fellowship. There is also a strong Asian presence among students and faculty on the University and College campuses in the region.

Pittsburgh East Asian and Pacific communities came here for a variety of reasons, and for a variety of reasons they have decided to stay. We invite those interested in the Southwestern Pennsylvania region to come and help build our growing communities.

The Silk Screen Film Festival showcases contemporary Asian and Asian-American films.  This multi-day Festival celebrates the vast diversity of the Asian creative spirit, and features a Red Carpet Gala, Asian music concerts and discussion sessions with prominent filmmakers and actors.
