Thank You for an Unforgettable GRAPF 2025

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to all of our sponsors, vendors, visitors, volunteers, and supporters for making the Grand Rapids Asian-Pacific Festival 2025 such a truly memorable celebration. Your energy, generosity, and presence brought our community together in a beautiful way.

As we look ahead to our 10th official anniversary in 2027, we are filled with excitement and gratitude. We hope to see you return and help us make the next two years even more meaningful, joyful, and impactful.

A very special thank-you goes out to our dedicated volunteers and walk-in helpers—from loading up 26 U-Hauls on Wednesday to reloading and unpacking on Sunday. Your hard work, heart, and hustle are what make GRAPF not just an event, but a true labor of love.

With gratitude, we thank our 2025 Title Sponsor Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort
