Kick-off Nisei Week

Kick-off Nisei Week

The much beloved Tofu Festival is but the end of the beginning to the nine-day celebration known as Nisei Week. It kicked off its 67th year in fine form: with a bean curd orgy (take a gander in the next gallery), a costume contest to indulge our anime fantasies and a pretty righteous, mega-watt samurai to closeout the night.

Missed the opening shindig? Fear not, for the festivities continue through the week, culminating this weekend with more drumming, more parading, more anime-ing and a bon ondo celebration that is aimed to get you dancing in the streets. For more details, go to www.niseiweek.org.
