Taiko at the Tidal Basin!

Join us for our biggest annual event!

On Sunday, March 31st,  we are taking over the ANA Performance stage at the Tidal Basin for 6 hours of FREE, fun, family-friendly taiko performances! There will be groups from Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina, Massachusetts, and of course local favorites from right here in the DC area!

Peak bloom for DC’s famous cherry blossoms is projected to be just a couple of days afterwards, so it should be a great day to visit the Tidal Basin!

We’ve got all the details for you!

Check out the day’s full schedule, find out how to get to the Tidal Basin (hint: beat the traffic and take Metro), and more!

Support our performers and help make the Sakura Taiko Takeover possible!

100% of proceeds will go to covering the costs of the event and supporting the taiko groups traveling to the DC area.
