SUMMARY:Buddhist Temple of San Diego Bon Odori 2026
DESCRIPTION:Obon is a Buddhist tradition of remembering ancestors that has been practiced in Japan for over 500 years. In San Diego\, the Buddhist Temple on Market Street has been holding its Bon Odori every summer for decades the way it was always meant to be held: outside\, with taiko drumming\, folk dancing that anyone can join\, and food made by people who have been making it the same way since the event started.\n\nThe dancing is called bon odori\, and the circle is open. You do not need to know the steps before you arrive. You learn by watching and then joining. The music is live taiko and traditional Japanese melody. The food booths sell teriyaki\, somen noodles\, andagi\, and shave ice. The festival is free.\n\nThis is not a public-facing tourism event. It is the Japanese American community of San Diego doing what it has always done in August. That is exactly what makes it worth finding.
