Our Summer Festival will feature 2 traditional Japanese festivals.
Bon Festival
It is a Buddist memorial event in honor of one’s ancestors. BON-ODORI is the local folk dance performed around a drum group on a stage during the festival. It would not be summer without a BON-ODORI for many Japanese.
Tanabata Festival
Tanabata is the Star Festival based on a Chinese legend, and celebrated on July 7th every year. People write their wishes on strips of fancy paper and display them on bamboo trees.
