Come join JETAA for the Seattle Betsuin Bon Odori and the very traditional... Beer Garden!

There’s no RSVP date for this event; come if you’ve got some time and hankering for dancing, martial arts, crafts food, the traditional arts, yukatas and kimonos, music and, of course, beer. There will be some of us from beginning to end, so just look for either the red JETAA t-shirts or something odd. Think… Harry Potter robes. Everyone is welcome - bring friends and family!

When: July 18th (4pm - 10pm). We’ll be there on Saturday; if you can’t make it Saturday, Bon Odori will also be on Sunday, July 19th, from 3pm - 9pm.

Where:
Seattle Betsuin Buddhist Temple
1427 South Main Street
Seattle, WA 98144
Tel: 206-329-0800

(For those of you who wish to dance in the festival and want some practice, they’re holding lessons July 6-10, 13, 14. Check the website for more details. http://www.seattlebetsuin.com/)

Hope to see you celebrating away on July 18th!
