The Coalition of Asian Pacific Americans (CAPA) are hosting United We Stand, a festival celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, which begins Monday, May 1. The spotlight will shine on a wide range of wonderful organizations, programs, and companies in the Pan Asian American community. There will be arts and crafts booths and vendors, including a Peking duck crepe maker!
With its beginnings as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week in May 1979, CAPA has hosted fun-filled outdoor festivals bringing together diverse Asian American cultures through education and interaction. Its Asian American Community Hub serves to promote and amplify work that Asian American organizations have been providing to our community. CAPA provides an excellent opportunity to get to know and get involved with active Asian American organizations.
