This year’s event is centered on Setsubun (the eve of the first day of spring); where kids scatter beans to chase away the ogre and bring in happiness. Events include: playing with colourful tops and Japanese style cup & ball, make your own sumo wrestlers and otedamas (beanbags), to learning how to make origami pieces. The highlight of the day will be a rock-paper-scissors tournament – with prizes to be won. The event is suitable for families with children aged 4 to 12 (children must be accompanied by an adult).

 

Tickets: $4 before January 30, or $5 at-the-door.
