Kodomo no Hi, or “Children’s Day,” is a fun and exciting opportunity to explore children’s culture in Japan. Hosted by the JCCCW, this free-to-attend annual festival connects children and families in the community, in a shared multicultural experience. Japanese and Japanese American culture, art, history, music and more are waiting for you at this community celebration for children’s health and wellness!

The theme of this year’s event is the four seasons — Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter! Join us for a journey through a year of life and culture! Learn about seasonal celebrations like Hinamatsuri and Tanabata, and enjoy fun cultural activities like radio taiso (exercise) and spinning top-making! With exciting martial arts demonstrations, live music performances, and even a children’s yukata fashion show, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at 2023’s Kodomo no Hi!
