The Cambridge-Somerville Asian Festival aims to highlight the diversity of heritages within the Asian American community, and provide a positive anti-racist vision through exposure to Asian arts, music, food, community leaders and more. We see this event as an opportunity to bring communities together to both celebrate our cultures and ethnicities and counter anti-Asian American sentiment in a positive way.
