About the Event
East Asian Girl Gang is celebrating Obon! Join us for some fun and feasting, and meet members of our gorgeous gang.
It is one of the most important Japanese festivals, after New Year’s Day. Taking place in August over three days, the festival is based on Buddhist beliefs that spirits briefly return to their family home at this time of year. It’s not a time to mourn, but to think about our ancestors and loved ones and celebrate their visit.
Lanterns are lit to welcome spirits and then fires and bonfires lit to see spirits off safely.
