Tanabata is a traditional Japanese star festival held in midsummer. Join us at Shofuso Japanese House and Garden in West Fairmount Park to tie wishes to the bamboo tree, watch our giant Tanabata star ornaments swish in the breeze, and make paper cranes for good luck. This weekend of activities includes Japanese storytelling, musical instrument demonstrations, origami, and calligraphy! Events free with general admission ($10 adults, $5 students with ID, seniors, and youth, $2 ACCESS Card holders, free to children under 3, active military with ID, and members of the Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia).
