Tanabata Star Festival


The Vancouver Japanese Language School & Japanese Hall (VJLS-JH) hosts the summer celebration of Tanabata Star Festival. Do you know the story of star-crossed lovers Princess Orihime and Prince Hikoboshi who meet every July 7th on the Milky Way? Come and hear this romantic tale and enjoy a family event with performances, delicious food, and children's crafts. You'll also have the opportunity to make your wishes come true in the traditional practice of writing them on tanzaku (pieces of paper) and hanging them on a bamboo tree. Bring your family and friends and don your yukatas for this popular summer festival!
