Celebrate the history, diversity, and enduring promise of Vancouver’s Japantown in the first Japantown Multicultural Neighbourhood Celebration (10:00am-9:00pm, March 28). This full day of cultural events and public forums reflects upon the journeys of the past, the diversity of the present, and the promise of the future. The Japantown Multicultural Neighbourhood Celebration features concurrent activity at the Japanese Hall, Oppenheimer Park, Chapel Arts, Kalayaan Centre, and in the streets of Japantown. Japantown lies on the traditional territory of the Coast Salish First Nations and is the site of Vancouver’s earliest beginnings.

The 2008 Festival was very successful and we are now working on the 2009 Festival which is scheduled for Wed. Oct 29 – to Sunday Nov. 8 2009. Program events for the 2009 Festival will be posted by mid October 2009 at the latest.
