Japanese Spring Festival 2017

Approximately 300 people attended Grinnell College's annual Japanese Spring Festival on Friday, April 7.

They enjoyed a Taiko drum performance, calligraphy, origami, kimono, and other Japanese activities in the Joe Rosenfield ’25 Center, Room 101. They also sampled free Japanese food, including sushi and curry.

This year we were able to meet many new attendees from the Grinnell and neighboring communities as well as the College. From seniors to school kids, many were new to these Japanese food and activities.

This festival was made possible thanks to funding from The Japan Foundation in New York and the Institute for Global Engagement at Grinnell College.
