Nikkei Matsuri: Japanese Summer Festival

Experience a Japanese summer festival, kicking off with an outdoor dance party for all ages featuring local DJ beats and food vendors in the festive garden. The main festivities offer over 20 performances, including powerful taiko drumming, exciting samurai and ninja shows, and shamisen players from Japan. Taste your way through street food stalls, unwind at the beer and sake garden, or play classic festival games like yo-yo balloon fishing. Rent a traditional yukata, join the public dance or the lively shrine procession around the central tower. Inside, browse the anime and flea markets, an interactive Pokémon League, and museum exhibits. Plus, explore a new admission-free community fun park featuring a kids’ crafts corner and cultural activities.
