🌌 The Real Tanabata at Austin Bamboo Inc. 🌿 Bamboo Wishes, Tea, and Stars — August 29

Join us for a magical evening inspired by the original Tanabata — the Weaver Star Festival rooted in East Asian folklore and traditionally observed according to the lunar calendar. While Japan celebrates on July 7, we’ll honor the true seasonal spirit with bamboo, tea & snacks, and meaningful tradition — right here in Round Rock.

✨ Enjoy:
• Fresh-brewed teas & Japanese treats (Daifuku mochi, Senbei rice crackers, or Dango rice dumplings with Teriyaki glaze or red bean pudding.)
• Simple origami creations and kanji calligraphy
• Write your wishes and hang them on real bamboo boughs
• Learn the celestial story behind the festival and keep an eye out for the quarter moon crossing Scorpio

🎋 Come relax, make a wish, and celebrate beauty, intention, and the stars.
