AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) Heritage Month Celebration

Celebrate our AAPI community with amazing performances and colorful crafts. We would love to see families in saris/dhotis, kimonos, hakamas, hanfus - shine out in your best!

On the main floor, families can make a Chinese lantern, learn the art of Japanese origami, or create colorful rangoli art.

At 12:00 pm the Michigan Lion Dance team will put on a show-stopping performance in the foyer. 

In the Auditorium, you can see these performances:

12:30 pm - A brief introduction to AAPI History from Richard Mui, President of the Association of Chinese Americans

1:00 pm - Japanese Taiko drumming from Raion Taiko ensemble of the Great Lakes Taiko Center
