Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
Summary
Each May, the City of Fairfax City Council issues a formal proclamation acknowledging Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. The proclamation is presented by the Mayor to the Asian Festival on Main Committee, which organizes an annual Asian festival and has been doing so for at least six years as of 2026. The practice is documented on consecutive years: on May 13, 2025, the Mayor presented the proclamation to the Asian Festival on Main committee, and on May 12, 2026, the Mayor again presented the proclamation to the Asian Festival on Main Committee, acknowledging May as AAPI Heritage Month in the City of Fairfax. The 2026 meeting drew a full chamber, reflecting community engagement with the event.
