The HMF or Hmong Music Festival happens once a year since 2012 when it was first showcased. This event brings Hmong people from different communities all over the world together in one spot for an enjoyable, fun, and cultured event.
Since it was last minute, I was not aware of all the different mini events/vendors going on at the HMF. The Fresno Fair Grounds is where the HMF was held at. Inside, there were the typical vendors selling raffles, selling clothes, food, and jewelry. I arrived at 2 in the afternoon and spent two hours at the food court area. Later, I found out there was an area where a fashion show was being held. By the time I got to the area, the fashion show was over. I spotted some of the models and was able to snap a photo of a few of them. Each gown was designed by different Hmong designers. For more information go to https://www.revivedorg.org/about.
Before the show began at 6 there were a stage for open mic and open performance. Here are two of the short clips I recorded below.

The idea of attending HMF was last minute for me. It was not until noon that I decided to tag along with my cousin and her wonderful boyfriend who visited from Michigan. I knew attending this event would help me connect to my community more which is something I have been doing in the past year.
