Ginza Festival
The Ginza Festival is a wonderful Japanese Festival held annually at the Midwest Buddhist Temple where the members serve food and educate the community about Japanese customs, culture and art. There are plenty events held from drum circles, traditional plays and judo demonstrations held by local dojos. Enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine while you watch the shows or take it around to observe all the art and jewelry vendors from various areas of the States. Take time to view the inside of the beautiful temple and sit in and learn about buddhist culture and customs. Share stories with all people alike whom share the same affinity of Japanese culture. This is one of the many great summer events held in the diverse city of Chicago.
