Lexington's third annual month-long celebration of AAPI Heritage Month
In 2022, a group of scrappy AAPI organizers in Lexington got together to put on events for the community celebrating the rich, multi-diverse culture of Asian American Pacific Islanders.
This year, we are happy to bring you a month-long series of events that celebrate the heritage and talents of local AAPI artists, influencers, performers, and creators in Lexington.
