Date and Time: Saturday, September 24, 2022  3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Location: Novi Public Library Patio

Event Details:

The Novi Public Library invites you to join in the fun of the 2nd annual MI Bon Festival in Novi, Michigan. In partnership with The Great Lakes Taiko Center (GLTC), MI Bon (“My” Michigan Bon) is the Michigan celebration of the Japanese Bon Festival, or Obon, a summer cultural tradition from Japan which is shared around the world as a time to honor the spirits of our ancestors and to celebrate life in community through song and dance.  Guests will have a chance to experience the spirited drumming (Taiko) of the GLTC performing groups and learn the folk dancing (Bon odori) that goes along with traditional Bon music. Come as you are or don your favorite festive wear for this casual summer outdoor gathering (traditional Obon costumes include Japanese Yukata summer kimonos or Happi coat jackets). Learn more about the Great Lakes Taiko Center (GLTC) at https://michigantaiko.net

Event will be rescheduled for September 24th if inclement weather.

This event is sponsored by the Novi Rotary.
