WHAT IS OBON?

Obon is our annual summer Japanese cultural festival. We get together to eat, dance, and laugh as a community as a way to express our joy and gratitude for our loved ones who have passed on before us. 

Come for our Japanese “Bon” dancing, Nen Daiko performance, and delicious desserts, vendors, and children’s activities. Stay for the evening memorial ceremony where we fill our beautiful Japanese garden with hundreds of candles that represent the influences that our departed loved ones had on our lives. This moving tribute is a fitting way to end the day spent with friends, families and neighbors.
