Japan Festival Houston Makes a “MEI-JI” Move

The Japan-America Society of Houston is pleased to announce that the Japanese Festival of Houston will be held in Hermann Park on September 7-8, 2024.

Japan Festival Houston 2024 is timed to coincide with Meiji Modern: Fifty Years of New Japan, which will be on view at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) from July 7 through September 15, 2024.  This landmark showcase of art from Japan’s Meiji Era (1868-1912) will provide an enriching backdrop to the Festival.

As Houston celebrates the four remarkable Meiji decades that propelled Japan into the modern era, Japan Festival Houston looks forward to highlighting the rich contributions of Japan’s culture to the world today through martial arts demonstrations, traditional and contemporary Japanese music and dance, interactive displays and festival games.

“Japan Festival Houston is a labor of love on behalf of the Japanese community for the people of Houston.  The two-day, family-friendly event is a vibrant testment to the enduring connections between Japan and our city.”
