Arab American Heritage Month is observed in April to honor the achievements of Arab Americans. During this month, we celebrate the rich culture of Arab Americans through art, music, food, and more. While the contributions, accomplishments, and culture of Arab Americans should be acknowledged and celebrated all year, many organizations host special events and make their resources more readily available. Metro-Detroit is home to the largest population of Arab Americans in the US so there are plenty of ways to celebrate locally. We’ve compiled a list of ways to help get you started.
