In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we took our mobile branch to the Austin Dragon Boat Festival at Festival Beach on Lady Bird Lake! 🐉

The festival celebrates the ancient sport of dragon boating while showcasing Austin’s vibrant AAPI community through music, food, and dance.

We’re proud to honor the Asian American and Pacific Islander community, this month and always.

Did you hear? The Austin Dragon Boat Festival is the FIRST AANHPI cultural festival officially co-sponsored by the City of Austin Government.

This means ADBF now joins a select group of events, including SXSW and the Texas Book Festival, that the city permanently recognizes and supports year after year. Unlike a one-time grant, which requires reapplying for funding each cycle, a city co-sponsorship means ADBF receives annual fee waivers as a matter of city policy. That is a level of recognition our community's cultural events have never received before.

This designation is 26 years in the making, and it would not have happened without the legacy Amy Wong Mok of the Asian American Cultural Center built.

A big thank you to the Mayor & City Council members: Kirk Watson Councilwoman Vanessa Fuentes Council Member José Velásquez Mayor Pro Tem José "Chito" Vela Council Member Ryan Alter CM Krista Laine Mike Siegel Paige Ellis Council Member Zohaib "Zo" Qadri, District 9 Council Member Marc Duchen
