Our Southern Arizona Japanese Cultural Coalition festival, which started in January 2014 (as a New Year’s mochi pounding event), continued to 2020 till the Covid-19 pandemic came to town. We took a 3 year hiatus, then started up again in 2024 and 2025, moving the festival to March.
I’m the Editor of the website, www.southernazjapan.org (since January 2013) and publicity chair of this festival. Join us again in March 2026 for all things Japanese in Southern Arizona. Admission is still only $5 for adults, free for children 5 years and younger.
