Natsu Matsuri(夏祭り) which translates to "summer festival" in Japanese, is an annual event that takes place across Japan in the summer months of July to September. These festivals are a celebration of Japanese culture and customs, and feature a variety of activities and performances.
Our Natsu Matsuri KC will showcase Japanese owned + related businesses, Japanese artists and organizations, as well as traditional games such as the water balloon fishing(水ヨーヨー釣り) and the goldfish scooping(金魚すくい) etc. This is a family & kids friendly indoor festival!
Tickets are free, but there is an optional donation ticket as well!
All funds raised will be directly put towards future Japanese community events such as Shinnen-kai, Hanami, and other cultural events hosted by Madoka Koguchi & Chikara Hibino. Please donate if you are able!
