Brookline's First Annual AAPI Heritage Day

Posted: 5/1/2023 3:35 pm

May is when we celebrate Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The Town of Brookline is putting on the first annual Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Day on Saturday, May 20, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The all-day celebration aims to uplift our AAPI community and the books, authors, and individuals that tell our rich and diverse stories. There will be readings, talks, book signings with famous authors, food trucks, free tasty snacks, puppet performances, arts & crafts, games, prizes and more!

At a special inaugural AAPI Heritage Day event at the Coolidge Corner Theatre, we will spotlight five of Brookline's very own essay laureates - winners of BAAFN's 8th Annual Asian American Student Essay Contest - Soomin Lee, Kalina Brookfield, John Watson, Tina Li and Lila Yoon.
