A month of celebrating Asian culture and heritage is set to come to an end with one last event.
May is Asian Heritage Month (AHM) and events have been held throughout Kelowna by the Asian Heritage Okanagan during the month. Some of the events included a display at Kelowna City Hall, an opening forum, an Asian heritage exhibition, AHM movie week, family Sundays, drumming rehearsals, and others hosted by community partners.
On Saturday, May 31, one last event will take place - the Asian Heritage Month Community Showcase. The celebration will feature live cultural performances, community displays and traditional attire, Asian food booths, and remarks by community leaders and dignitaries.
"This family-friendly event aims to highlight the vibrant multicultural fabric of our region and promote intercultural dialogue and understanding," stated a press release from the Okanagan Chinese Canadian Association.
The event is happening at the Immaculate Conception Church Hall at 839 Sutherland Avenue from 4:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. with the program taking place from 6:00 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.
