City of Dallas celebrates the 3rd annual Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month celebration with AT&T Performing Arts Center

The Dallas Police Department Office of Community Affairs is proud to collaborate once again with the AT&T Performing Arts Center for the third annual AAPI Celebration to celebrate Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month.

Residents and visitors are invited to join the festivities as we kick off AAPI Heritage Month with a vibrant celebration in Sammons Park. The event will feature authentic food vendors, showcase the talents of local artisans, offer captivating performances, and host a diverse vendor market with activities suitable for all ages.

One of the highlights of the celebration is the Culinary Passport Activity, where attendees can embark on a flavorful journey by sampling snacks from six diverse Asian cultures, including Armenia, China, India, Korea, Thailand, and Turkey. Participants will also have the opportunity to delve deeper into the rich tapestry of Asian heritage, with each tasting offering insights into the cultural significance of the dishes. Plus, every completed passport provides a raffle entry for a chance to win exciting prizes.

“The Dallas Police Office of Community Affairs looks forward to engaging with the Asian Community, in order to strengthen relationships and reinforce our commitment to public safety within the community. This event, while fun and a celebration of AAPI heritage, is essential to building further trust and partnerships.” said Danny Young, Manager of the Office of Community Affairs, Dallas Police Department.

“The AT&T Performing Arts Center always strives to entertain wide range of audiences across Dallas and North Texas,” said Warren Tranquada, president and CEO of the Center. “The region is a tapestry of ethnic and cultural backgrounds including the Asian American and Pacific Islander community, and our AAPI Family Weekend during AAPI Heritage Month is one of the most colorful events connecting community and the arts. We hope everyone comes for the delicious food, fun activities, and dazzling performances!” 

The celebration will take place on May 10, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Sammons Park, located at 2403 Flora St., Dallas, TX, 75201.
