2021 Tanabata at Shofuso

 

Every year Shofuso celebrates Tanabata with decorations and bamboo trees full of wishes written by our visitors. Visit Shofuso and make your very own wish this July!

Tanabata is the yearly star festival that is recognized across Japan on July 7th. This is the one day a year where two celestial lovers, Orihime and Hikoboshi, are said to meet. We celebrate this meeting of star crossed lovers by appreciating the beauty of the cosmos and the wonders of the night sky. And we invite you to celebrate with us!

This year, you can join us online or in person for some exclusive festival events. Come to Shofuso from July 1st to the 14th to learn about the holiday, see traditional Tanabata decorations, and to make your Tanzaku wish for the rest of the year. If you would like to join us from home you can visit our website to see a short video about Tanabata below or sign up for our special Tanabata virtual tour taking place Saturday the 10th at 7pm.

No matter how you join us this year, we hope you take time to look up into the night sky and admire the wonders beyond our world!
