The largest kendama convention & competition in the US is back!

Part of what makes NAKO such an epic event is that everyone is staying in the same hotel for the entire weekend, That means as soon as you wake up you are only steps away from some of the most exciting kendama action in the world!
We suggest that everyone plans to fly in on Thursday August 21 to attend the pre-jam at the MN State Fair, and out on Monday August 25 so you don't miss any of the incredible Finals action on Sunday night!
