This week, we were delighted to welcome 11 middle school students from our Sister City, Muroran, Japan, to Cedar Bluff Middle School. This exchange is a meaningful step in strengthening our cultural and educational ties.
In support of Cedar Bluff Middle School’s 2025 trip to Muroran, the Asian Culture Center of Tennessee proudly presented a $5,000 donation from the proceeds of the 11th Knox Asian Festival. This donation marks the creation of our new Education Support Fund, established to further cultural exchanges and educational opportunities between Knoxville and Japan.
Through this fund, made possible by our dedicated festival supporters, we aim to nurture global understanding and mutual respect among our youth.
