Event Details

Festival Overview

The Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Festival (the “Festival”), presented in collaboration with 120+ Asian American community organizations, is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious event dedicated to honoring Asian Americans and the contributions of Asian American to the U.S.. The Festival has been celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander culture, heritage, its organizations and individuals since 1979.

In a city with 1.35 million Asians, your organization was recognized as one to benefit most by connecting to and being a champion for the Asian American community. We likewise invite you and your organization to celebrate a proud and select community as active sponsors in this time honored event that began three decades ago.
