Albuquerque holds a heritage festival
This month, the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History in Albuquerque will be holding a special festival celebrating Asian Pacific Islander heritage.
The museum has partnered with the Sandia National Laboratories Asian Leadership & Outreach committee to host this event. This year will be the 23rd annual festival, and will celebrate native languages, cultures, traditions, and experiences.
The festival will feature a variety of activities, including live performances, origami demonstrations, food sampling, and calligraphy. The opening ceremonies will include museum director Jim Walther, and will begin at 10:00 am. After the ceremonies, there will be live performances scheduled throughout the event until approximately 3:00 pm. There will be lion dancing and martial arts, and taiko drumming, among other performances.
Visitors will also have a chance to watch floral arrangements, see origami and calligraphy demonstrations, and taste some food from the culture. The demonstrations will be happening throughout the day. The food sampling will begin at 11:30am and go until 1:30pm, or until the samples are gone.
This festival will be included with general admission tickets. Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors over 60 or youths 6-17, and children aged five or under are free. The museum has its own parking lot.
Events like this often benefit from banner printing, as a banner can attract roadside attention and make incoming guests aware. This event is currently scheduled for Saturday, May 11.
