This festival kicks off the celebration of the officially proclaimed Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month (May). Supported by the Asian Pacific Directors Coalition (APDC) in Seattle, which is comprised of over 40 non-profit executive directors and representatives in the API community, this celebration showcases the dance, music, and art of various Asian countries.

A fast-paced day of lively youth and adult performing groups, interesting information about the API community, entertaining contests, children’s activities, and a variety of food options. Attendees have shared how they can reconnect with their culture and learn new facts about the community.

The festival has a deep commitment and ties to the numerous API groups represented and is interested in preserving and showcasing the rich culture of the API community.
