Come enjoy the tastes, sounds and feel of Japan at the Sakura Matsuri – Japanese Street Festival!

We are the largest one-day celebration of Japanese culture in the US. We have 4 stages of performances and demonstrations, cultural exhibitors, food vendors, cooking demonstrations, a Childrens’ Corner – and more!

Held the same day as the Parade, this rain-or-shine event brings vibrant performances to four stages showcasing 30 cumulative hours of programming.

The daylong cultural celebration welcomes more than 80 cultural groups, arts vendors and food booths.

Children 12 and under are always free! These tickets are NON-REFUNDABLE. If you cannot attend the event, you may give your tickets to someone else. The money will be used to support the programs of the Japan-America Society of Washington, D.C.
