Japanese Summer Festival - Waterfront City, Docklands
The Japanese Summer Festival, known as "Natsu-Matsuri" in Japan, is an annual festival held during summer all across the country where people flock to soak up the carnival atmosphere and take part in activities such as the "Bon Odori" dance performed by dancers in Yukatas. Of course the festival at Docklands will feature a Bon Odori dance as well as many other special performances, including a professional Taiko Drumming group and musical performances by other professional performers and school children.
The Festival, organised by the Japanese Society of Melbourne/Japanese Chamber of Commerce & Industry Melbourne, is a community based event for everyone with a love of Japan and Japanese culture. Everyone can join in the Bon Odori dance, which is easy to learn, and if dancing isn't your thing, then you can just relax and enjoy taking in the atmosphere while trying the many varieties of Japanese snacks and drinks, playing traditional games and browsing through the different stalls selling Japanese goods such as anime. The day will also include a raffle with many fabulous prizes to be won, including a return trip for two to Japan, a car GPS system from a Japanese company and more!
