4th Annual Sakura Taiko Fest!

03.03.2016 by Heather Mitchell-Buck //

We are thrilled to announce that this year’s Sakura Taiko Fest will be part of the 2016 National Cherry Blossom Festival!

 

2016 Sakura Taiko Fest

The Sakura Taiko Fest will feature Japanese drumming performances from a variety of East Coast taiko groups. This energizing show explores a range of different drumming styles, and celebrates Japanese cultural and artistic traditions from professional, community, and Buddhist taiko groups.

Performers include Kyo Daiko (Philadelphia, PA), Nen Daiko (Fairfax Station, VA), ShinDaiko (Boston, MA), Miyako Taiko (Washington, DC, and Kizuna/Mark H Taiko (Washington, DC). We hope you can enjoy us for a dynamic and family-friendly afternoon of Japanese drumming!

This event is free and seating is first-come first-served.

The Hoff Theater is located inside the Stamp Student Union at the University of Maryland. Garage parking is available for a fee on campus, and a free shuttle runs from the College Park Metro station.
