One of the major festival attractions is the Bon Dancing, which normally attracts 20-25 dance groups from both the American and Japanese communities.There are also two omikoshi shrines, food and game booths, Japanese and American entertainment, sports events, sport kites, arm wrestling, and fireworks.
Everyone on the Camp Zama as well as Zama City and surrounding communities are invited to attend. We will have food and refreshment vendors on hand, traditional Japanese portable shrines, and a bon dance.
