SUMMARY:JapanFest 2025
DESCRIPTION:The mission of JapanFest is to improve understanding and appreciation of linkages between Japanese and Americans residing in the Southeastern United States through an annual salute to Japanese culture and friendship entitled JapanFest.  \n\n\n\nThis celebration will promote multicultural education\, encourage social harmony\, and ensure the cultural integrity of JapanFest by providing an appropriate mix of authentic contemporary and traditional programs on Japanese art and culture. Activities include a wide variety of performing arts\, demonstrations\, hands-on workshops\, and exhibitions.  \n\n\n\nThese grassroots efforts are coordinated by the Japanese Chamber of Commerce of Georgia and The Japan-America Society of Georgia and implemented by a host of community volunteers.  \n\n\n\nJapanFest is committed to organizing a self-sustaining event\, supported in part by non-Japanese Chamber of Commerce and non-Japan-America Society of Georgia members\, and provides meaningful support to educational endeavors in Georgia. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	From the archive:

The traditional Japanese tea ceremony\, sumo wrestling\, karate and ninja performances\, Japanese flower arranging\, traditional Japanese dancing and more will all be a part of the festival entertainment program as well. \nJapanFest will include a Food Court\, filled with affordable Japanese delicacies\, as well as the Ginza Dori “main street” filled with even more vendors with Japanese novelties for sale; Anime Village for all our loyal Anime fans; The Way of the Warrior with sword and martial arts exhibits; the Japanese Arts Studio where you can participate in Ikebana Flower Arranging\, Bonsai\, Calligraphy\, Kimono\, and Tea Ceremony; an Olympics 2020 Capsule to learn all about next year’s festivities and travel to Japan\, and much more! JapanFest\, now in its 33rd year\, typically draws crowds exceeding 20\,000.
