From the website:
Games, Traditional Japanese and Hawaiian Dancing (learn to do a Folk dance!), Traditional Music, and Sushi-making Demonstrations are guaranteed. We even have an awesome Taiko Drum group performing: Genki Spark! They're an awesome women's drum group that gives a lot back. We might have a few other treats in store, too, like Furoshiki (intricately-folded cloth wrappings) and the opportunity to dress up in Japanese formalware and have your picture taken. Buy some art/crafts from Tewassa no kai to support tsunami and earthquake relief in Japan.
