  • Program 1 [2019]

    Japan Fair- This is a two-day annual festival in Bellevue, Washington celebrating Japanese arts and culture. It is a communal endeavor of musicians, artisans, community organizations, and entities from both Japan and the United States coming together to share their talents and knowledge of Japan. Through live performances on stage, hands-on exhibits, cultural and educational workshops, and vendor booths, the public is immersed in the music, dance, art, and philosophy of Japan, all of which contribute to the missions and goals of Japan Fair. The event in 2019 was successful with over 20,000 people attended during the two day-weekend event at Meydenbauer Center. The program revenue generated from this event was sufficent to support 100% operation costs for the first time ever since the program began.
