Common Roots: AAPI Heritage Month Festival 2024

May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM) — come celebrate with us at the 3rd annual Common Roots Fest! We’ll have Asian artists, a vendor market, performances, food, and more. This event is FREE and welcomes all ages. It will be held outdoors in Raleigh at Moore Square in from 11am – 4pm. RSVP for event updates by filling out this form; more details to come.

Our theme, Common Roots, calls to mind the unique journeys and contributions of the many diverse communities across Asian and Pacific Islander diasporas, while highlighting the beauty we create together as we forge connections across backgrounds and generations – just as every individual root of a plant shares in nourishing each leaf and branch, so the entire being thrives.

Are you an AAPI vendor, performer, or artist? If you’re interested in performing, vending, displaying your art, hosting an activity, or sharing an installation, please let us know at the bottom of the form and we’ll be in touch. If you’re interested in sponsoring this event, please reach out to vicky@ncaat.org. We look forward to hearing from you.

We’re celebrating APAHM all May long, so be on the lookout for a list of programming from us throughout the month!
