Bon Odori
This event started out as a small affair for Japanese expatriates to immerse their children in Japanese culture in 1977. Over the past half century, it has grown into a major Japan-Malaysia friendship event attracting more than 50,000 visitors each year.
Festive lanterns, taiko drum performances, yukata-clad participants, and Bon Odori dancing create the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese summer festival. Visitors can also enjoy a wide variety of Japanese festival foods. We invite you to join us, experience the Bon Odori, admire the vibrant yukata, and enjoy the powerful sounds of taiko drums.
