Due to safety concerns over the high winds. We will reschedule the Somerville market tour and Growing Center activities for a later date.
We are still celebrating AAPI Heritage Month at the Cambridge event, tomorrow, Sunday, May 31 2-4pm at Cambridge Street Upper School. Please join us!
The Cambridge-Somerville Asian Festival aims to highlight the diversity of heritages within the Asian American community, and provide a positive anti-racist vision through exposure to Asian arts, music, food, community leaders and more. We see this event as an opportunity to bring communities together to both celebrate our cultures and ethnicities and counter anti-Asian American sentiment in a positive way.
