Come Celebrate Humboldt's
First Obon Festival

SAVE-THE-DATE

August 14, 2022, 4-8pm
in the Creamery District, Arcata

Obon is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the spirits of one's ancestors. There will be a Buddhist priest to bless the Festival and share the stories and traditions of Obon, an altar to honor our ancestors, food vendors (Asian and Pacific Islander cuisine), children’s activities, music, Bon Dancing, and more. HAPI is grateful to the many community volunteers helping to organize this event; others who would like to help should email HAPI at hapi.humboldt@gmail.com. HAPI is grateful for the sponsorship of the Humboldt Area Foundation and Wild Rivers Community Foundation.

Please consider donating to support the Festival and hope to see you there.
