The Southern California Asian & Pacific Islander Festival’s (“SoCal API Fest") mission is to increase education about Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (ANHPI) culture. We endeavor to create better global citizens by engaging and educating members of the local community, fostering meaningful conversations about cultural similarities, differences, and a mutual desire for respect and understanding. Our goals include engaging the local community through partnerships with diverse cultural organizations, nonprofits, and businesses, and spreading awareness through the cultural arts and sparking meaningful conversations.
