“Join us on Sunday, May 8, 2022 from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm to celebrate the Japanese national holiday of Children’s Day at Yume Japanese Gardens.

Children’s Day (Kodomo no Hi) falls annually on May 5 when Japanese families celebrate the healthy growth and happiness of their children. This year our Festival will coincide with Mother’s Day. What a wonderful way of celebrating moms and children all together.

Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase.
