Everett community gathered at the Connolly Center to celebrate with food, music and performances

Special to The Advocate

The City of Everett recently joined with Happy Garden Group and the United States Army to host Everett’s first Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Celebration at the Connolly Center. To celebrate and honor the contributions and culture of Everett’s Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander community, residents and elected officials joined together to enjoy various performances throughout the event. Following the performances, attendees were invited to partake in traditional Asian cuisine that was prepared and served by members of the United States Army along with volunteers.

“I’m glad we were able to come together to celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the City of Everett with this community event,” said Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “I’d like to thank all of the organizations that participated and everyone who joined us for this celebration.”
