While I am not a native English speaker, I have used it daily for thirty years. I thought I had a pretty good grasp of the language now but the use of English in the title is new to me.

What does "to Bow April 26th" mean?
Is there any special significance in having "Bow" capitalised?

"To bow" in this context means "to debut" as in the event will be its first iteration. Capitalisation in titles is based on what style of scholarly writing a journal or its author follows. in MLA Style for example you need to capitalise the initial letters of all significant words, I could be mistaken though, I had to follow MLA styling for my Master's thesis back in 2012 so it's been a long time.

Its similar usage to calling the first episode in a series debut a "Pilot" episode. English, if I recall properly, has the largest vocabulary of any other language by an order of magnitude.

What does "to Bow April 26th" mean?

This is the first time I've ever seen "bow" used to mean "debut." It's new use and also a rare use. Another use is to cease, which is the exact opposite of debut, so it's very odd to me.

Same, I've heard "take a bow" or "bow out" as the final event in a series (or final day of a multi-day event). I've never heard it used for an inaugural event.
