Tacoma Bon Odori Festival

Calendar/Event Details

Everyone is welcome to our Bon Odori Festival! As part of our religion, we honor those who have passed by celebrating them through Japanese traditional dancing called Bon Odori. Everyone is welcome to dance, enjoy the food or just watch the dancing and taiko performances.

4pm: Food, beer garden and other booths open. 4:30: Obon service.
5pm: Dancing and taiko drumming will occur in front of our temple on Fawcett Avenue up from UW Tacoma.

Feel free to bring a blanket, small chairs to sit on the sidewalk or hillside on the West side - space is fairly limited. 8pm: memorial candle service.

Menu highlights: teriyaki chicken and tofu bowls, cold somen, spam musubi, mochi and pie. Come early before the food runs out! Credit card preferred for all purchases.
