Celebrate the Make a Wish! “Tanabata 七夕” Japanese Star Festival, and take part in a rich cultural experience.
We would like to invite you to celebrate the Make a Wish! “Tanabata 七夕” Japanese Star Festival. As legend is told in Japanese culture, two star-crossed lovers, Vega and Altair, are separated by the Milky Way. They are allowed to meet only once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. This reunion marks the celebration of Tanabata (meaning the evening of the seventh). However, the Museum will celebrate this July 9th.
Japanese Storytelling - Enjoy Kamishibai – an interactive Japanese storytelling experience as part of the Tanabata Festival.
Arts and Crafts- Experience Japanese art traditions with Oragami and Tanzaku.
