Sun Valley Obon Festival is celebrating 65 years, and the two day festival will be taking place at The Valley Japanese Community Center. Come and eat some all-time favorite foods such as udon, teriyaki beef, sushi, Chinese chicken salad, and fresh roasted corn on the cob; as well as some delicious homemade baked goods which will all be avaliable for purchase.

Other activities include: festival-type games, exhibits of calligraphy/Sumi-E, and school work completed by Japanese School Students will be featured on both days.
