Happy Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month! The month of May is AAPI Heritage month, which means we celebrate the important role that Asian Americans,  and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) have played in our history and culture.  During a time where DEI initiatives are being slashed, we are committed to continue highlighting our community and offering a platform for our voices to be heard.

 Come celebrate with us by attending some of these in-person events happening in Boston Chinatown and beyond this May! From food festivals, concerts, markets, and more, there’s sure to be something for everyone. 

(P.S. We are also hosting our own event, The Boston Chinatown Photo Walk + Tour!, Come practice your photography skills and learn more)
