Welcome to APAHW 2009!

You are about to experience a whirlwind celebration of Asian American culture! The Asian Pacific American Heritage Week is the culmination of many countless hours spent organizing, fundraising, and hoping, all in order to bring you this festivity.

This is just the latest incarnation, the 17th APAHW, starting from the collective desire to showcase Asian Pacific American unity as well as our diversity.

APAHW began many years ago as a way to unite the APA groups for one week, to build the connections that foster a community.

The first APAHW's were smaller in scale, and each event had to be fought for by the ever active APA community. We have come a long way since those first APAHW's and we hope to build on the foundations of our predecessors. We hope that you will come out to at least one of our events, share in our experience as Asian Americans, and hopefully, learn a little something that you did not know.
