On August 3, 2025, Kingston will hold the 15th Peace Bon Odori Festival at the beach.
This event is free; everyone can dance, listen to music, and also commemorate the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as the nuclear disasters in Fukushima and Chernobyl.
Bon Odori is a traditional Japanese dance where people dance in summer to honor their ancestors.
The event features Japanese taiko drum performances, calligraphy demonstrations, Aikido displays, and fun watermelon games.
Everyone can join workshops to learn about environmental protection, peace, and different cultures.
In the evening, there will be Buddhist prayers and a peace walk.
The event hopes everyone will work together to make the world safer, free of nuclear weapons, and use more environmentally friendly energy.
