Performers😀 from across the U.S. and Japan gather yearly at Sakura Matsuri to bring over 30 hours of live, dynamic musical and dance performances on three stages. In addition, over 200 martial artists will come to demonstrate their expertise all day on the Martial Arts Stage.

On the Sakura Stage, we are honored to have various Taiko groups return to grace the stage once again! Taiko is a traditional classical performance originating in the Southern islands of Japan. These groups will perform both modern and traditional Taiko Drumming routines.☺️☺️

Looking for a more modern feel? The J-Pop stage will be a showcase of contemporary Japanese pop culture. From music and Cosplay fashion shows to Yosakoi Dance groups, the J-Pop is full of exciting shows just for you! 😊☺️

The practice of Martial arts has held a long, rich history in Japan. On Martial Arts 🥋Stage, we bring you to the world of Japanese Martial Arts! You will have the opportunity to see Jojutsu (Japanese stick fighting), Ninjutsu, Karate, and other performances live！😃
