Step into summer tradition with a Bon Odori dance experience at the historic Ikegami Honmonji Temple! We’ll start by putting on yukata, Japan’s traditional summer wear, before learning the basic steps of Bon Odori from local instructors.

Then, join the community as we dance under lantern-lit skies to honor the spirits of ancestors. With music, movement, and festive energy all around, this is your chance to experience the heart of a Japanese summer festival!

Registration opens: Saturday, June 20th 2026 at 7AM
