A dose of Cultural Musical Ensemble.

CAPA Flyer SOE 2022

Now in its 21st year, the Council of Asian Pacific Americans (CAPA) proudly presents its signature event, “Splendor of the East.” CAPA’s much anticipated annual cultural showcase will take place at Stoney Creek Metro Park on Saturday August 6, 2022 at 4:00 PM.

This year’s Splendor of the East theme of Metamorphosis aims to highlight the rebirth of ourselves and our community after the past 2 years. as we head into our 3rd decade of SOE, we are changing things up a bit and bring a new twist to CAPA’s signature event!

For the first time in the history of CAPA, this year’s SOE event celebration will be held at a metro park. The event will bring together the music, art and talent of Michigan’s Asian Pacific American community and rich cultural heritage and will be a spectacular homage to conquering the difficulties of the past couple years and a celebration of love shining through to bring hopes of a brighter future!

Month of May is the Asian Pacific American Heritage month. Designated by President Bush as such since 1999, the Michigan Asian Pacific community had been celebrating the month-long yearly event with a cultural show showcasing their many cultures with a variety show aptly named Splendor of the East. For the first time in the history of CAPA, this year’s celebration will be held at a metro park on Saturday August 6, 2022 at 4:00 PM.
