Fiesta Matsuri combines the Children's Day celebrations of two communities: Kodomo no hi in Japan and Día de los niños in Mexico. Both holidays celebrate the growth, happiness and success of children
The event was designed to foster an appreciation for Japanese -American tradition and to connect participants to the diversity derived from multiple generations and ethnicities. With workshops and activities designed for children of all ages, Fiesta Matsuri hopes to engage families with culture and community.
This year's Fiesta Matsuri celebration will include a handful of culinary workshops open to all ages. Workshops include mochi-making with Brian Kito of Fugetsu-Do and onigiri-making with Table for Two.
