On May 19th 2019, celebrate the 10th anniversary of Matsuri! Japanese Arts Festival in Juilliard Park in Santa Rosa. This festival (run by the non-profit Sonoma Matsuri) aims to give Sonoma residents an understanding of Japanese culture.
This Year
The 10th anniversary festival promises to be a bit special. There will be a Shinto Priest in attendance to lead the opening ceremony. Additionally, there will be music, dance, drumming, theater, martial arts, a Tea Ceremony, and mochi pounding (mochi pounding is very cool). It promises to be quite an event.
Extras
Have kids? Don’t worry. The festival provides a children’s activity booth to entertain and engage the littles.
Grab your friends and family and enjoy the culture at the Matsuri! Japanese Arts Festival, May 19th from 11-5. Admission is free.
