More than 900 people gathered in Bloomington on September 27 to celebrate Cambodian Heritage Day 2025: Honoring Our Roots and Celebrating Our Future—50 Years in Minnesota.
Hosted by the Cambodian American Partnership of Minnesota (CAPMN), the event featured classical dance, traditional music, youth-led performances, cultural exhibits and Khmer cuisine. Interactive displays highlighted the Cambodian journey from surviving the Khmer Rouge genocide to building strong, multigenerational lives in Minnesota.
CAPMN Executive Director Chinda Kim Gregor accepted a proclamation from Governor Tim Walz, honoring both the resilience of Cambodian Americans and the two million lives lost during the Southeast Asian War.
With 41 vendors and 100 volunteers, the day reflected not only the past but also on the vibrant future of Cambodian life in Minnesota. Learn more at capmn.org.
