📣 Asian Festival Update - We’ll See You in May 2027!

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone our Asian Festival until May 2027.

Our team has been working hard to secure the right venue partnership, and we are hopeful that with continued communication and collaboration with our City and community partners, we will be able to provide an accessible, welcoming, and appropriate location for the celebration our community deserves.

As a friendly reminder, the AAPI for Savannah Task Force is a task force appointed through the City of Savannah. We are not a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and do not have standing funding dedicated to producing events.

Community celebrations of this size are made possible through sponsorships, partnerships, and organizations and individuals who choose to invest in bringing them to life.

This additional time gives us the opportunity to continue building those partnerships and create a stronger celebration of Savannah’s Asian American and Pacific Islander communities.

If you, your business, or your organization would like to sponsor, support, or partner with us as we prepare for May 2027, we would love to hear from you. Please send us a direct message.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this vision, shared your excitement, and asked how you can help.

We appreciate your patience and continued support, and we look forward to celebrating with you all next May! ❤️

Here is a fun event for you to attend to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month!

05/14/2026

For our ancestors.
For our heritage.
For the families who came before us, and the generations still to come.

Today, we are honored to once again receive the City of Savannah’s official Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month Proclamation. A reminder that our stories, traditions, resilience, and contributions are forever woven into the history of this city.

One line from the proclamation states:

“The City of Savannah remains committed to celebrating the diversity that makes our community stronger.”

As Chairwoman of the AAPI Task Force of Savannah, it is deeply emotional to see words I wrote become part of Savannah’s history year after year.

Happy AAPI Heritage Month. 💙

🎤 Bigger stages
🎉 A larger, more powerful celebration of AAPI culture in Savannah.

We are expanding, elevating, and creating an experience that brings honor, pride, and visibility to our community on a whole new level.
