Join Miyako Taiko for the 2019 Shinshun Matsuri!
This is one of our favorite annual events, hosted by the Japan Commerce Association of Washington, DC. There will be plenty of fun performances, cultural activities and games, lots of yummy festival food, and more. Don’t forget to have the shishi bite your head for good luck throughout the coming year!
Miyako Taiko will be kicking off the event at 11am as well as performing a full set at 12:45.
