Get ready for one of Loveland’s most vibrant community events—the 5th Annual Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) Heritage Celebration! Explore the full schedule and plan to stay awhile, because every performance brings something unforgettable. We’re thrilled to welcome back the Moksha School of Arts after their standout debut last year. From the opening moments to the final performance, you’ll experience the rich energy, color, movement, and music of the APIDA community. It’s an inspiring celebration of culture, creativity, and connection—and one you won’t want to miss.

Join us for this free, family-friendly celebration on Saturday, May 16th, from 11am to 3pm, outside the Loveland Public Library, our co-host for the event. This is a laid-back, come-and-stay-awhile kind of gathering, so bring a blanket or lawn chairs, settle in, and enjoy the performances at your own pace. Bring your friends, bring the kids, and come hungry—there will be delicious food trucks, unique artisan vendors, and community organization booths to explore throughout the day. It’s the perfect way to celebrate, discover, and enjoy an afternoon in the heart of Loveland.
