More program information to come...

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, South Vietnam (April 30, 1975). The fall of Phnom Penh, Cambodia took place nearly two weeks earlier on April 17, 1975, with the eventual fall of Vientiane, Laos occurring months later. These events led to over a million Southeast Asian refugees fleeing Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, some resettling in Sonoma County.

Please join us in recognizing the communities impacted by the Vietnam War and holding space for remembrance and grief. We will have a large altar onsite and invite you to bring offerings (including any pictures of elders and ancestors you would like to honor).

This event is organized by AAPIC North Bay (Asian American Pacific Islander Coalition of North Bay) to commemorate the fall of Saigon.
