The Asian Pacific American Heritage Festival has gained wide acclaim as one of New York's great cultural attractions and continues to experience tremendous growth in popularity. 

The annual festival is a community project that seeks to celebrate Asian culture and share community resources. It is produced by a partnership of 80+ APA community organizations and attracts over 8,000 attendees. Each year we reward APA nonprofits that work together to produce additional social "goods" for the community. We also acknowledge the leaders in our community that build coalitions among our constituents. The APA Heritage Festival is an open festival and we invite the general public to come and share our love for our heritage, the Asian Pacific American heritage.

We have, in fact, gotten so large, that we have been forced from our first home at Damrosch Park. The APA Heritage Festival has now enjoyed overwhelming success at multiple locations including Union Square and Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza.

Our 30-year partnership with community organizers continues to grow in strength as we help social profit organizations reach new audiences. Our tradition of collaboration remains at the heart of what we do. Our pan-Asian performances have included representation from traditional Korean, Filipino, Indian and Chinese dancers. We have had fierce Taiko drummers, Vietnamese and Polynesian musicians, and modern dancers. We also offer arts & crafts tables, a children's program, and mini film festivals.
