On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Winchester High School will host an evening of cultural celebration, community, and connection for Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

This event invites students, families, and community members to experience the rich diversity of Asian cultures through food, performances, and hands-on activities.

WHS students from the Chinese Culture Club, Asian American Club, Indian Culture Club, and the Japanese Culture Club will be at the event along with the Network for Social Justice as a community-based sponsor.

Throughout the evening, clubs will host interactive booths designed to engage a broad audience with cultural games, crafts, and activities. Attendees can also enjoy food and drink offerings generously donated by local businesses.

New this year will be an exhibit, “Contributions AAPI Have Made to American History,” curated by Regina Au. The exhibit will also be part of a large AAPI festival in Boston on May 17.

The event will be held in the Winchester High School cafeteria and auditorium. Admission is free, and all are welcome to join and celebrate the vibrant cultures and contributions of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders in the community.
