Australian Japan Association of South Australia (AJA of SA) and the City of Burnside is inviting you for a family-friendly event celebrating the rich culture of Japan, , on Sunday 16 July 2023, starting from 11 am to 4 pm, at Burnside Ballroom, 401 Greenhill Road, Tusmore.

The theme for 2023 is Tanabata and Obon Festival in Winter. Tanabata, also known as the Star Festival, is a Japanese celebration that takes place on the seventh day of the seventh month. It celebrates the meeting of two stars, Altair and Vega, which are usually separated by the Milky Way. The Obon festival (also known as Bon Festival) commemorates and remembers deceased ancestors. It is believed that their spirits return at this time to visit their relatives.

At this event, you can enjoy food stalls, children's activities, exhibition and craft stalls, cultural performances (dancing, music, etc), Yukata (an unlined cotton summer kimono, worn in casual settings) try on, Japanese tea ceremony and more!
