:: KAARI - Korean-American Association of Rhode Island ::
KAARI News

We had this year's August 15 Independence Day celebration Sunday at Bristol Town Beach & Sports Complex.  This is significant because the event was the first in-person event for Korean American Association of Rhode Island (KAARI) in a long time because of the COVID Pandemic.   There were KAARI members and family and friends, Korean War veterans, and officials from Boston Consulate.  The weather was perfect!  It was great to see the KAARI community and friends together.  

 

Here are some photos from the event. Enjoy!!
