We are one of the sponsors at Natsu Matsuri KC 🇯🇵
Natsu Matsuri (夏祭り) translates to “summer festival” in Japanese and is a beloved tradition celebrated across Japan during the summer months, typically from July through September. These festivals are a celebration of Japanese culture and customs, featuring traditional performances, games, food, and activities for all ages.
