2025 AAPIHM Theme:
Celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander History and Community
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month invites us to honor and explore our shared history and the diverse backgrounds within our communities. This important tradition reminds us that the United States is a nation of immigrants, where every person has a unique and inspiring story to tell. It offers us a valuable moment for reflection and understanding the meaningful changes we experience together.
In times of challenge, we can draw strength and hope from our history and its enduring legacies. Let’s unite to strengthen our community by celebrating our customs and reaffirming our commitment to respect and uplift one another.
As we embrace AAPI Heritage Month in 2025, we encourage you to join us in recognizing and celebrating the invaluable contributions and traditions of people of Asian heritage in our community. Your involvement is vital to ensuring this celebration reflects our collective spirit and commitment to inclusivity. Together, let’s create a truly welcoming environment for everyone.
Events Calendar
Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AAPIHM) is a month-long celebration which recognizes the contributions of Asian American and Pacific Islanders. In 1977, congressional lawmakers proposed bills for the creation of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. After passing a law for a 7-day commemoration in 1978, Congress passed Public Law 102-450 in 1992 which annually designated May as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month.
