Annual Japanese Festival in Vancouver

Annual Japanese Festival in Vancouver

This is the longest running Japanese Festival in North America which takes place on the long weekend in August. It is held in Oppenheimer Park bordered on one side by Powell Street - the original Japan town before World War II. This is our second Japanese Festival this year as we attended the Santa Cruz one when we were there in June. Here are some pictures of the festivities here in Vancouver.

We took in the Japanese Festival at the Mission Plaza Park. This event is in its 21st year and was really well done and attended.





A wedding soon to take place at the catholic church just behind the festival venue ...
