The events this month so far in honor Asian and Pacific Islander month have been so fun! It was so exciting for us to be co-sponsors of Maplewood’s first event, the Lion dance by the New York Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club. There are still some amazing upcoming events you’ll want to be sure to check out including Pua Aliʻi ʻIlima o Nūioka’s’s Hula performance this Saturday, May 22 from 3-5 pm at the Spiotta Park in South Orange, NJ.

Maplewood Township, South Orange Village, SOMA Cross Cultural Works and the AAPI Community unite to recognize and celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month ’21. As we stand in solidarity, the focus is on education, healing and creating joy as we honor the richness and diversity of Asian and Pacific Islander cultures with an exciting lineup of family oriented activities and projects May 1 – 31, 2021.
