Join us for a celebration of Tanabata, the Japanese Star Festival, inspired by a centuries-old legend of two star-crossed lovers who meet just once a year. Traditionally celebrated from July 7 to August 7, Tanabata invites participants to write their wishes on colorful paper strips and hang them on festive displays. At our museum, wishes will be displayed in our windows as part of this meaningful tradition.
Can’t attend the kickoff? The display will remain up through August 2. Stop by during museum hours to enjoy the exhibit—and don’t forget to add your wish to the Tanabata display!
