Splendor! 11th Annual CPAA Spring Gala,

About the event

The purpose of the Festival is to bring together communities of San Jose and the Silicon Valley region in celebration of the Lunar New Year. The most visible and recognized of Asian celebrations, the Spring Festival, as the Lunar New Year celebration is traditionally known, is CPAA’s major annual event designed to pursue its three fold mission to introduce Chinese culture as an integral part of the American society; to promote multiculturalism through collaborations; and to promote global cultural exchange through international participation. While the Festival presents the cherished arts and traditions of CPAA’s Chinese American heritage, it also engages broader community participation through the inclusion of arts of diverse cultures such as San Jose based Korean drumming (2014 and 2015) Indian dance performances (2014 and 2015) Mexican (2015) Flamenco (2015,) Tajikistan, Tibetan, and Dai Dances (2016) and American music and magic shows (2014­ 2016) as well as Chinese artists from both the local area and China.
