Arab American Heritage Festival

The Arab Community Center for Integration Services (ACCIS) has been serving Sacramento since 2014, empowering Arab American refugees and immigrants through cultural preservation, education, and community engagement. ACCIS promotes self-sufficiency and cultural pride by offering programs in women’s empowerment, youth enrichment, and community involvement. To celebrate Arab American Heritage Month, ACCIS is hosting the Arab American Heritage Festival in April 2025. This vibrant event will showcase the rich cultural traditions of the Arab world, featuring Dabke dance performances, oud music, art workshops, cultural displays, and interactive activities for children. Through events like this, ACCIS builds bridges between cultures, fosters mutual understanding, and ensures Arab traditions thrive in future generations. Join us to experience the beauty and diversity of Arab culture and celebrate its contributions to the community.
