Southern Az Japanese Cultural Coalition sponsored, with Odaiko Sonora taiko drummers our annual festival (though we had a 3 year hiatus due to the pandemic), now in March, no longer January.
Date is Saturday March 23, 2024, with Japanese performances, crafts (i.e. origami), activities for the children, games, delicious food, etc. And anime this year!
Still only $5 (cash preferrred) admission fee. Children 5 years and under are free.
We started this New Year’s festival in Jan. 2014 as a mochi pounding event at Yume Japanese Gardens, expanded to a larger festival at PCC Downtown for 3 years, changed name to Tucson Japanese Festival. Then we took a 3 year hiatus due to the pandemic, but we’re back.
