The nonprofit organization Spokane United We Stand is proud to host the 6th Asian Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Heritage Festival alongside the 15th Annual Family Fun Fair on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at Riverfront Park immediately following the Junior Lilac Parade in Spokane.

In 2025, the event welcomed 34,800 attendees, and organizers are preparing for an estimated 35,000+ participants in 2026.

The Family Fun Fair is designed as a welcoming space where families can connect with valuable programs and services that promote stability, safety, and opportunity.

The event celebrates the rich cultures, traditions, histories, and contributions of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders in Spokane and across the United States. It also serves as a reminder to build a stronger community rooted in respect, inclusion, and mutual support.
