About this Event
Bon Season is upon us! All are welcome to come and learn dances that are often danced at the bon dance; which for Hawai’i will be until October. This program is fun for all ages and will be held in the Adult Reading Room!
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Bon Dances or Bon Odori, it is an annual Japanese Dance Festival that occurs during Obon season in the Summer. It is a celebration of family, heritage, tradition, a celebration of life, and a way to honor ones’ ancestors. Children under 12 need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Please bring water, a sweat towel, and comfortable footwear as we will be on our feet for most of the program. Mahalo to the Hawaiʻi Shin Kobukai for doing this program for us! Due to the limited space, Pre-registration for this program is advised. Please contact the Kaimukī Public Library at (808)733-8422 or come in-person at the Adult Reference Desk to register.
