The Thai Cultural Day originated in 1993 by the Thai Community Arts and Cultural Center. (The Director of the Thai Cultural Day is Professor Vibul Wonprasat, an accomplished artist and an art instructor. He is also the founder of TCACC.)

The Thai Cultural Day is held every year in September. Barnsdall Art Park was selected as the site for the Thai Cultural Day due to its location close to the Thai community in Hollywood. The purpose of the festival is to preserve and promote Thai arts and culture through educational and entertainment activities as well as to enhance a multicultural understanding among different ethnic groups.

Our Thai cultural activities typically comprise of the classical and folk dances, the classical music, the children's folk games, the cooking demonstration, etc. Due to the success of our Thai Cultural Day, we have expanded to include the first Thai Cultural Parade in 1997 (Fifth Annual Thai Cultural Day).

Since our First Annual Thai Cultural Day in 1993, each year's attendance is estimated to be well over 3,000. The festival is supported and attended by people from various ethnic groups in the Los Angeles Area.
