Japan Festival Boston 2016

Japan Festival Boston, held on April 28, 2016 on Boston Common, was a grand success.  Blessed by good weather and attended by over 60,000 visitors, the Festival showcased many forms of Japanese culture in workshops, booths, stage performances and, of course, Japanese food.  The Festival ended with a rousing bon-odori dance led by taiko drummers and followed by many concentric circles of happy dancers.
