It was three years ago yesterday that we cut the ribbon and opened the doors to the expanded, renovated Capri. And what a beautiful day it was – sunny, blue skies, and lots of excitement and hope in the air. Thank you, everyone, for your help in making that day possible, and for demonstrating your love and support for this place in so many ways since then. We’ve experienced many magical moments, and have witnessed countless poignant expressions of talent and grace. And we’ve seen so much joy as people have come together in the spirit of community, here at the Capri, in the heart of North Minneapolis. We are mighty grateful. Now, take a look at the Grand Opening Day video from October 3, 2021 – and plan to Be @ the Capri again soon.
