During Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, fans are invited to Wrigley Field Wednesday, May 28, to celebrate the contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States with a dedicated theme game including special entertainment, music and other recognitions. At Gallagher Way pregame, fans can test their origami skills with the Japanese Culture Center, sample delicacies such as mochi donuts and Filipino street food, watch a performance by the Tenger Khuur Ensemble of Mongolia, enjoy traditional Japanese drumming by Tsukasa Taiko and marvel at Bollywood dances by the Meher Dance Company of Chicago. Inside the ballpark, fans can try a new specialty food item specific to the May 28 game, featuring a spicy tofu bao bun with pickled vegetables, available at the Marquee Classics concession stand near Section 117.
To attend the celebration, fans are encouraged to purchase the AAPI Heritage Month Celebration Special Ticket Offer which includes a special-edition Cubs heritage jersey designed by Filipino-American award-winning artist and Chicagoland native Louis De Guzman. A portion of the proceeds from the Special Ticket Offer will be donated to the Japanese American Service Committee.

To celebrate, patches representing AAPI heritage will be available at a heat press patch station at Gallagher Way to add a patch to your Special Ticket Offer jersey before the game. Patches will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
