Tanabata Festival (Japan’s Star Festival)

Join us for the Tanabata Festival! 🎋
Experience the Japanese tradition of making wishes on colorful Tanzaku and hanging them on bamboo trees, and enjoy Japanese cultural activities and performances! This is a free, family-friendly event.

What is Tanabata? – Tanabata is a Japanese festival celebrated on July 7th. It originated from a Chinese legend that tells the story of two stars, Altair (Hikoboshi; the prince) and Vega (Orihime; the princess), who are normally separated by the Milky Way but can meet once a year on the 7th day of the 7th month 🌟
