About Us

Our Story

What started as a small local event has grown into one of the area’s most anticipated festivals — the Hello Friend Asian Street Food Festival. Rooted in family traditions and inspired by the vibrant street food scenes across Asia, our festival brings together the best of flavor, fun, and community.

We’re proud to bring together a unique mix of food vendors, local artisans, and performers who share our love for Asian culture and cuisine.

Giving Back is Who We Are

As a family, giving back has always been at the heart of what we do.

Hello Friend has spent years donating meals, supplies, and support to the homeless community throughout Pinellas County and beyond. We believe in sharing not just food, but compassion — and our festival is a direct reflection of those values.

Why “Hello Friend”?

The name “Hello Friend” reflects our belief in kindness, connection, and inclusion. When you walk through our festival gates, you’re not just a guest — you’re a friend.

Come hungry. Leave inspired. Make a friend.
