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.

An extraordinary collaboration of cultural depictions through dance and music from China, India, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Polynesia, Taiwan, Vietnam and other non-Asian Pacific countries. Splendor of the East will entice your senses with both a traditional and contemporary composition of artistry.

The Asian Pacific American community in Michigan is growing in numbers and in strength, and continues to contribute to the state’s economy, diversity, and vitality. Your support for initiatives and events, such as Splendor of the East, is greatly appreciated.

We hope you will join us at the Splendor of the East 2025!
