Featured artists will include official San Francisco 49ers AMP SQUAD DJ DJ E-Rock, Filipina-Australian sensation Ylona Garcia and the “glamorous grandmas” Grant Avenue Follies.
There will also be panel discussions featuring prominent AAPI chefs including Francis Ang and Michelin-starred, James Beard awardee Brandon Jew as well as current and former athletes such as Olympic medalist Kristi Yamaguchi and former San Francisco 49ers player Jesse Sapolu. Emmy Award-winning journalist Dion Lim and Bay Area “hype man” Franco Finn will be emceeing the festivities.
