Obon – The Japanese Festival

In recognition of today’s holiday, there will be no news or class ads.

Instead, we present a special program from our archives: Obon, the Japanese Festival.

What is Obon?
Obon is a traditional Japanese festival held to honor and remember ancestors. This centuries-old tradition is celebrated with cultural performances, lantern lighting, and rituals that bring families together in remembrance of loved ones.

Enjoy this special feature, and we’ll return to our regularly scheduled programming on December 26th.
