2020 Memphis Japan Festival
As the Covid-19 outbreak continues, our hearts go out to all who have been affected.
Throughout the spring and early summer, we were hopeful that the widespread transmission of Covid-19 would be prevented and that we would be able to host an in-person celebration of Japanese culture at Memphis Botanic Garden.
Sadly, current realities are preventing us from moving forward. So, we have cancelled the Memphis Japan Festival this year.
We appreciate so much the support of our sponsors, partners, exhibitors, vendors, performers, martial arts groups, lecturers and volunteers, and we look forward to seeing everyone again when the Festival makes its comeback in 2021.
We are planning a virtual Memphis Japan Week during the last week of September. Each day, we will present videos of traditional and contemporary Japanese music and dance, martial arts, cultural demonstrations and interactive classes. This virtual event will give us the opportunity to showcase Japanese culture when we aren’t able to gather together.
More Memphis Japan Week details will be available soon on Memphis Japan Festival Facebook
