Its pretty much Buddhist Churches during the summer time they have a lil festival to raise money - theres crafts and traditional Japanese dancing, games, and good food!

We used to cruise Nisei week too - Remember the "Nisei Cruise" shirts......
 
Just an additional info....

Obon or just Bon is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the departed (deceased) spirits of one's ancestors.
