The 65th annual Obon Carnival took place on July 8 and 9 at Zenshuji Soto Mission in L.A.’s Little Tokyo/Arts District.
An Obon service was held both days to honor departed loved ones.
Food booths served barbecue chicken and beef, tamales, chirashi-sushi, somen, corn, and shaved ice. The carnival also included a white elephant sale and a raffle drawing.
Cultural demonstrations and performances included tea ceremony, folk music by Matsumae Kai, Okinawan music by Gurukuns, drumming by Zendeko, Taiko Center of Los Angeles and Ryujin Taiko, Japanese classical dance by Bando Hidesomi Company, martial arts by Shorinji Kempo, Kawachi Ondo (Kansai Club), folk music and dance by the Ban Bon Dancers and Terminal Islanders, and Zen Aerobics.
Bon Odori was held both days with dancers of all ages joining in.
Many people attended both Zenshuji’s event and Nishi Hongwanji’s Obon Festival, which was held the same weekend on the other side of First Street.
