Asian Pacific American Heritage Celebration Beginning just hours after Bloomsday, a multicultural celebration happening as part of May’s national designation as American Pacific Islander Heritage month is set to take place. Organized by the Filipino American Northwest Association, the Spokane Chinese Association, the Indian Youth Club of Spokane and the Marshallese Full Gospel Group, the Asian Pacific American Heritage Day features a number of food vendors, plus a potluck with a variety of Asian and Pacific Islander dishes. Attendees can also watch local dance groups perform cultural dances and music. The event celebrates and honors the cultures, contributions and traditions of Spokane’s Asian American Pacific Islander community.
