JCCC Natsu Matsuri & Toronto Buddhist Church Bon Odori 2026
Join us for the JCCC’s annual Natsu Matsuri & Bon Odori, presented in collaboration with the Toronto Buddhist Church. This beloved summer tradition celebrates the spirit of Obon through food, music, performances, games, and community gathering.
A highlight of the festival is the Bon Odori dance, to take place at 7pm, where everyone is invited to participate and celebrate together.
Weather permitting, festivities will be held outdoors in the JCCC parking lot, with Kobayashi Hall serving as the indoor venue in case of rain.
We look forward to celebrating with familiar faces and new friends alike. See you there!
