Episode Details

Step into San Jose’s vibrant Japantown this weekend for the annual Obon Festival and Bazaar — a dazzling two-day celebration of culture, history, and community. Experience soul-stirring taiko drumming, traditional Bon Odori dancing (where you can join in!), mouthwatering food, and fun games. Though some activities have moved due to nearby construction, the beloved food booths stay put, and a free shuttle runs from the Santa Clara County parking lot to ease the crowds. Rooted in tradition since 1936 (with dancing dating back to 1904), this free, family-friendly event is your perfect chance to honor ancestors, soak in Japanese heritage, and dance under the stars.
