All Things Yokai

Yōkai, those enigmatic beings of Japanese folklore, have long danced at the edges of human understanding, offering whispered explanations for the inexplicable.

2024 THEME: YŌKAI & JAPANESE FOLKLORE

This year’s festival features special Yōkai-themed content, including a Fox-Woman dance by Nihon-buyō Master Asuka Iijima, Yōkai candy art by Miyuki, a lecture series exploring Yōkai throughout art and culture, Yōkai origami and mask workshops, a Yōkai hunt, and the festival will end with a fantastical Yōkai parade!
