              根據美國人口統計局的2021年人口估計，波士頓市有9.8%，麻州有7.2%的居民為亞裔，而且亞裔是全美人口成長最快的族群。 

              波士頓的亞裔居民高居麻州之冠，波士頓華埠也是全美第三大華埠，在多徹斯特有活躍的越南社區，全市各地也有許多其他的亞裔社區。 

              根據美國法典第36篇第102節，要求總統每年發佈公告，呼籲美國內的人民在5月份慶祝亞裔社區。 

              為慶祝亞裔傳統月，波士頓市和麻州有許多活動，包括波士頓公共圖書館和包氏文藝中心，在愛德華甘迺迪機構的團結晚宴，以及在哈佛廣場的音樂節等等。

The Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community has made great contributions to the City of Boston, enriching all aspects of our city and nation’s history. The month of May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, and during this week’s Council meeting, the Council adopted a resolution recognizing the contributions of AAPI residents.

According to the 2021 population estimates from the Census Bureau, 9.8% of Boston’s population and 7.2 % of the Massachusetts population identify as Asian American, and the Asian American population is the fastest growing racial or ethnic group in the country.

Boston has the largest number of AAPI residents in the state, the third largest Chinatown in the United States, a vibrant Vietnamese community in Dorchester, as well as many other AAPI communities throughout the city.

The United States Code, under section 102 of title 36, requests that there is an annual proclamation from the President calling on the people in the U.S. to celebrate the AAPI community during May. To celebrate AAPI Heritage Month, there are numerous events around the city and the state, including opera performances from Asian artists at the Boston Public Library and the Pao Arts Center, the Unity Dinner at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute, and the Asian Street Food and Music Festival at Harvard Square, among others.
