Additional Info:
Hina Matsuri returns on March 8, 2026!Formerly known as Haru Matsuri, the new name is a familiar one that many families already hold close. Rooted in the traditional Doll Festival, the day brings together displays of hina dolls, crafts, performances, food, and hands-on activities throughout the Centre. It is a welcoming, all-ages celebration that marks the approach of spring and invites people to spend time together moving through spaces of art, play, and shared attention.The atmosphere will be gentle and playful. Visitors might watch a martial arts demonstration, make a doll or a kite, listen to kamishibai, encounter new artwork by women-identified Nikkei artists, or simply wander with friends and family. Hina Matsuri is designed to feel both familiar and slightly open-ended-a spring gathering where tradition meets the present, and where everyone is invited to imagine what care and becoming might look like now.Event programand activities Art exhibition and artist walk and talk 3 contemporary Nikkei women-identified artists Marina Van Raay Nami Ueno Yuka Yamaguchi Hina doll making and Bina Nagashi(Heritage Garden) Kids area: KiteMaking & other activities to be announced JCCC programshowcase: Interactive activities byJCCCCulturalclass(Sumi-e, Ikebana andchado) Martial Arts clubdemonstrations Danceperformancefrom JCCC odori dance groups, and more!
