Written By: Rachel Putman

The 香蕉视频APP will host its annual Asian American and Pacific Islander Festival from 5 to 10 p.m. Saturday, April 25 in the Campus Center Reynolds Room, bringing together campus and area student organizations for an evening of food, performances, and cultural celebration.

The event is free and open to the community.

This year鈥檚 festival will include the Vietnamese Student Association, K-pop Appreciation and Dance, the Filipino Student Association, Japan Club and Mahjong Club. The Asian Culture Club from Southside High School and students from Van Buren High School will also participate in the event.

UAFS student Alyssa Voradeth said the festival gives students and community members a chance to gather around shared learning and culture.

鈥淐elebrating AAPI culture is to recognize and honor the contributions of AAPI individuals that helped shape who we are today,鈥� Alyssa said. 鈥淚t fosters unity, promoting a more inclusive, empathetic society, and combats challenges and discrimination within us.鈥�

The participation of high school students adds another layer to this year鈥檚 event, connecting UAFS student organizations with younger students from the region.

鈥淚t鈥檚 exciting to see high school students come and participate because it creates a safe space that promotes pride and understanding about their community, as well as to educate not only themselves, but their peers,鈥� Alyssa said.
