26th Annual Japanese Bon Dance Cultural Festival 🎉

Saturday, August 24th From 12:00pm - 4:30pm

The Bon Dance Festival is one of our most significant cultural traditions. It mimics similar Obon festivals held in Japan around the Japanese ancestral holiday of Obon. The Bon Dance Festival includes Bon Odori, which is performed in colorful kimono, yukata, and happi coats. Rather than somber affairs, the Bon Dance Festival represents an energetic mix of traditional choreography with modern-day merrymaking.

The festival is hosted by JAASC’s Japan Affairs committee every August in Greenville, SC as a fundraiser for our programs.
