day 202: celebrating your heritage, honoring your roots



05.02.10 (posted 05.08.10) - it was a blazing hot sunday in nyc today! this was the first time that we hit close to the 90°F. when temps get that high, you really feel what it means to live in a concrete jungle.

well, that didn't stop thousands of people from converging onto union square square for the 31st annual asian/pacific american heritage festival. this event kicks off a month's worth of activities to celebrate the contributions and diversity of individuals and communities that traced their roots to asia and the pacific islands. there was something for everyone -- performances, a kids' craft corner, community organizations and resources, vendors, and a variety of food stands.

here are a few shots i took of the festivities.
