SUMMARY:Nisei Week Japanese Festival 2026 — Little Tokyo\, Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Nisei Week started in 1934 as a way to bring business to Little Tokyo during the Depression. What it became is the oldest Asian-American festival in the United States — ten days of cultural performances\, traditional arts\, food\, and the Saturday Grand Parade that turns First Street into a procession that has been happening for over ninety years.\n\nThe festival draws from the full range of Japanese-American cultural practice: traditional dance (ondo\, bon dancing)\, taiko drumming\, ikebana\, martial arts demonstrations\, the Queen Program that has been running continuously since the 1930s. The arts and crafts exhibitions are curated by community organizations that know exactly what they're preserving.\n\nThe Grand Parade is the part that stops foot traffic in Little Tokyo. But the week that surrounds it is the reason the community shows up. Most people who have lived in Los Angeles their whole lives have never been. The ones who went once don't miss it.\n\nLittle Tokyo\, Los Angeles — Central Ave and 1st St\, and surrounding streets. Mid-August. Free to attend most events. Check the Nisei Week Foundation website for the full schedule.
