The annual Japanese “Obon” summer festivals are continuing throughout June,July and August at Buddhist temples around Southern California. I’ll post schedules in comments section. Mike and I attended the Orange County Obon with our friends Mary and David yesterday. Obon celebrates and remembers our ancestors. We honor them through our dances. Each festival is colorful and joyous offering a chance for anyone in the community to enjoy taiko drumming, baked sweets, Japanese food, games for children, craft and white elephant sales and the wonderful traditional and modern Japanese dances.
