Every year the Nikkei Matsuri Festival is held in San Jose, California in Japan Town. When I was growing up we would go almost every year and I plan to go this year. It is the 33rd year of the festival in San Jose and will be held on April 25, 2010.
The Nikkei Matsuri-San Jose Japantown (Japanese-American Festival) embraces the local community's love and appreciation of Japanese-American Culture and Heritage.
In 1976, as part of America's Bicentennial celebration, the City of San Jose encouraged local ethnic communities to sponsor festivals to share their culture. The Japanese-American community responded with a successful festival which is now, the Nikkei Matsuri-San Jose Japantown.
They have great Japanese food, love the tempura, and arts and crafts and Japanese music. Check it out!
