Until I start posting some information about the Capac Summer Festival 2009 I figured I would add some information about Capac for all of you read.
The Village of Capac was founded in1857 by a group from Romeo, Michigan. Capac was named by the Honorable D. C. Walker. It is the belief of some that the judge named the town after the head of a Peruvian line of Inca Indian emperors named Huayna Capac. Others believe that the name originated from the first Inca ruler Manco Capac.

When coming to Capac from the Eastern side of the City.
Your best bet is to take Groesbeck north which turn into North Avenue on the north side of M-59.
Take North Avenue up into Armada. At the second stop sign in Armada you will make a left heading West on Armada Center Road.
You take this about 3 miles West until you hit a flashing red light. This road is Capac Road. Make a right hand turn heading north.
It will only take you about 13 minutes to run smack in the middle of the Capac Summer Festival.
This event is being held in the street of Capac Road.
There are numerous places to park.
We'll see you there.
From the Western side of the city.
You can pick up Van Dyke and take it north towards Imlay City. Van Dyke turns into M-53 on the north side of 18 mile. Take this all the way up until you hit Imlay City. When you come into Imlay City there is a red stop light at I-69. Take I-69 east. You will only be on I-69 for 5 minutes. Exit at the next available exit, which is Capac Road. Make a left heading North. You will drive about 2 miles before running into the Capac Summer Festival.
This event is being held in the street of Capac Road.
