At a future in-person Festival, join us for Friendship Reception, a special ticketed event for dinner, performances by Japan Groups, mochitsuki (mochi pounding) and a gathering to welcome our guest participants from Japan and across the U.S.! The Festival Committee takes this opportunity to express their gratitude to our Festival participants. This reception will take place on Friday evening right before the second weekend of the Festival. Don’t miss this opportunity to catch all of their performances in one evening!
