Come together in celebration of AANHPI Heritage Month with Portland's Asian, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander residents. The event, which offers both in-person and livestream options, commits to combatting continued anti-Asian hate (do your reading if you haven't) and celebrates the resilience of Asian American communities. Anne Naito-Campbell, Senator Ron Wyden, Representative Suzanne Bonamici, Representative Earl Blumenauer, and many other community leaders will offer speeches, and cultural performers like Devigals Filipino Dance and Portland Taiko will strut their stuff on stage. Select Old Town Chinatown cultural institutions will also offer free admission throughout the day, including Lan Su Chinese Garden, Japanese American Museum of Oregon, and Portland Chinatown Museum.
