Join us for a community event that celebrates the rich and vibrant Nikkei heritage of Boyle Heights. The parade, a symbol of our cultural pride, kicks off at 5 pm at Saratoga/1st St in front of Tenrikyo Church.
After the parade, we'll gather in front of Otomisan for a cultural extravaganza opened by our esteemed Consulate General of Japan, Los Angeles Sone, and his wife. The event will feature a diverse range of performances, from the powerful beats of Hikari Taiko to the melodious tunes of Boyle Heights Neighborhood Music School and the grace of the 2023 Nisei Weeks Queen Court, among others.
The event will culminate with the Ondo/Japanese Festival Street Dancing, a celebration of our shared cultural heritage led by the Little Tokyo Dance Club. We're looking forward to another year of celebrating our cultural roots!
