PICTORIAL: Asian Pacific Islander (API) Heritage Month Celebration

May 10, 2019 By Northwest Asian Weekly

The Asian Pacific Islander (API) Heritage Month Celebration was held at the Seattle Center Armory on May 5 as part of API Heritage Month.

The festival launched with lion dances, youth drill teams, drumming, martial arts, and artists from around the state.

Participants got to explore and experience the cultural roots of the Asian-Pacific Islands through live performances, visual arts, hands-on activities, foods, games, and a lively marketplace.
