Japanese Cultural Fair

The 2018 annual Japanese Cultural Fair of Santa Cruz will be held on Saturday, June 9th, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Mission Plaza Park (in front of the Holy Cross Church), 103 Emmett Street, Santa Cruz. The event is free and open to the public. For three decades, the fair has provided an opportunity for members of the Santa Cruz County community to increase their awareness and understanding of Japanese culture, both traditional and contemporary. Through the arts, crafts, and culture of Japan, the fair strives to improve mutual understanding among Pacific Rim neighbors, as well as to enrich community life in the area.
