The Asian culture that’s a big part of the annual Marian Days festival in Carthage is spreading to Webb City this year.
The Asian Food Festival in King Jack Park will coincide with Marian Days, which begins Thursday and continues through Sunday.
Lou, an organizer of the festival with Saigon Night Market out of Florida, says, “In the past I have attended Marian Days, being a Vietnamese Catholic myself. It has always been a beautiful event.

It is billed as “four days of incredible food, live entertainment and family fun.”
In addition to international food vendors, there will be:
