Seattle Center Festál presents the 13th Annual Asian-Pacific Islander Heritage Month Celebration event on Sunday, May 4 from 11:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The free family-friendly event will feature live entertainment, activities, and cultural elements.
America’s Got Talent contestants Lions Ambition will be the headliner at the event. The Seattle-based six member team blends together skilled lyricism, soulful vocals with innovative new melodies that entertain and captivate audiences. Their unique sound has gained the band praise to be selected to open for national acts like Ludacris and Shwayze.
There will also be 17 of Seattle’s cultural entertainment groups performing that include Rachel Wong, Natya, OKK Taiko, Au Lac Vovinam-Lion Dance, and many others.
In addition to the live performances, there will also be a special hum bow eating contest with contestants such as Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, Uwajimaya chairman Tomio Moriguchi, King 5 anchor Lori Matsukawa, Ben Bridge Jewelers founder Herb Bridge, community activist Bob Santos, and more.
Since 2002, the annual festival has been produced by Asian Pacific Directors Coalition in partnership with Seattle Center.
