In the month of May we take time to reflect and celebrate the important role that Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) have played in our shared history.
Join us as we celebrate with a fashion show featuring traditional attire, and get hands on with a fluffy paper rose community craft.
It's a fun, family-friendly day of culture, connection, and celebration!
