A Guide to Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month in Philly
Posted by Visit Philadelphia on May 6, 2025
Each year, May — observed as Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month in the United States — offers us a special opportunity to highlight the achievements, contributions and cultures of Asian Americans, Pacific Island Americans and Native Hawaiians.
This month, join in AAPI Heritage Month festivities at attractions like the National Constitution Center, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History.
Discover work by Asian American artists at special exhibitions and events at Asian Arts Initiative and the Athenaeum of Philadelphia.
And dig into Asian culinary traditions at the Southeast Asian Market at FDR Park or the Laos in the House 10th anniversary event.
Plus, you can experience AAPI heritage all year long at one of the city’s many AAPI cultural attractions, restaurants and shops.
