Virtual Asian Festival

Salinas Chinatown Virtual Asian Festival

ACE’s Virtual Asian Festival is coming up on July 29th, and we couldn’t be more excited. Visit our ACE pop-up and get K-tacos on July 14, 4 – 8 pm at the Salinas Sports complex; then on July 29, order Asian food samplers for take out, pick up at the Salinas Buddhist Temple 4 – 7 pm, and watch our online festival from 7 – 8 pm. Thanks to Basic Lee for the beautiful Festival logo design, Carissa Purnell for flyer design, and to the whole Virtual Festival Committee (Dominic Dursa, Jason Agpaoa, and Chrissy Lau) for their hard work on ACE’s first virtual festival!

STOP AAPI HATE

ACE stands in solidarity with the 8 murder/hate crime victims and their families in Georgia. But we know this was not the first incident of this sort in the U.S. Hate crimes against Asian and Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities has been on the rise. Let’s take a deep breath, stand united, and work together to put a stop to this. Support local AAPI Organizations near you.

To learn more about this issue, and what you can do, see Stop AAPI Hate. They provide statistics, safety tips (in multiple languages), a way to report incidents, and more. The Community Foundation for Monterey County (CFMC) points us to Anti-Asian Violence Resources.
