About

Natsu Matsuri (夏祭り) which translates to “summer festival” in Japanese, is an annual event that takes place across Japan in the summer months of July to September. These festivals are a celebration of Japanese culture and customs, and feature a variety of activities and performances.

Our Natsu Matsuri KC will showcase Japanese owned and related businesses, Japanese artists and organizations, traditional performances, and games such as the water balloon fishing (水ヨーヨー釣り) and the goldfish scooping (金魚すくい) and more! This is a family & kids friendly outdoor festival.

Please bring a lawn chair and/or picnic blankets to enjoy the summer weather with us! Please also be prepared for potential excessive heat.
