North Hempstead Council Members Veronica Lurvey and Mariann Dalimonte attended the AAPI Festival held at Firefighters Park in Great Neck.
The festival was hosted by two Great Neck South High School students, Sophia Long and Lily Wu.
The festival was held as a means of celebrating the Asian American community, as well as recognizing their culture and contributions to society. Asian artists were invited to attend to share their stories and their artwork, and the festival also saw Asian dances and musical performances in the hopes of highlighting all that Asian cultures have to offer.
